Product Information

• Name: Cardiolipin solution
• Synonyms: Cardiolipin sodium from bovine heartCardiolipin solution in ethanol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Cardiolipin solution is a biochemical reagent derived from the phospholipid cardiolipin, which is sourced primarily from animal heart tissues or synthesized chemically. This phospholipid is localized predominantly in the inner mitochondrial membrane, playing a crucial role in mitochondrial bioenergetics and membrane stability. Its unique dimeric structure contributes to the functional integrity of mitochondrial proteins and the maintenance of membrane potential.Cardiolipin solution is extensively utilized in research focused on mitochondrial physiology, apoptosis, and metabolic disorders. It is pivotal in studies aimed at elucidating the mechanisms of mitochondrial dysfunctions and their contributions to diseases such as cardiomyopathy and neurodegenerative disorders. Additionally, cardiolipin's interactions with proteins such as cytochrome c and its involvement in mitochondrial dynamics make it a vital component for researchers investigating cellular energy metabolism and signaling pathways.Supplied as 5 mg/ml solution in ethanol
