Product Information

• Name: Tributyltin chloride
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Tributyltin chloride is an experimental chemical that is used as a model for apoptosis. It binds to the chloride ion and induces apoptosis in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. The process of apoptosis involves the mitochondrial membrane potential, which is an important factor in the regulation of intracellular Ca2+ levels. Tributyltin chloride has also been shown to increase copper-induced toxicity in cells by inhibiting ryanodine receptors, which are involved in calcium homeostasis. Tributyltin chloride has a phase transition temperature of -25°C and is not soluble in water; it can be dissolved in methanol, ethanol, acetone, benzene, chloroform, hexane, or ether. Tributyltin chloride also has been shown to have physiological effects on cell nuclei and maternal blood cells.
