Product Information

• Name: Tetraethylammonium acetate tetrahydrate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Tetraethylammonium acetate tetrahydrate (TEAT) is a trifluoroacetic acid salt that is used as a cyclase inhibitor. TEAT inhibits the activity of cyclases, which are enzymes that catalyze the formation of cyclic AMP (cAMP). This inhibition prevents the activation of protein kinases and subsequent phosphorylation of cytosolic proteins. TEAT has been shown to inhibit human serum albumin binding, transport properties, and fluorescence detector response in vitro. It also binds to DNA as a hydrogen-bond acceptor and can be used in enzymatic assays for DNA polymerase chain reaction.
