Product Information
m-dPEG8-MAL is a maleimide PEG (polyethylene glycol) compound that is commonly used for pegylation. Pegylation involves the attachment of PEG to molecules, such as proteins or drugs, to improve their stability and prolong their circulation time in the body. The m-dPEG8-MAL compound contains a methoxy PEG linker with eight ethylene glycol units and a maleimide functional group.
The maleimide group in m-dPEG8-MAL allows for specific conjugation reactions with molecules that contain thiol groups, such as cysteine residues in proteins or peptides. This enables the efficient and site-specific attachment of PEG to these molecules, resulting in enhanced bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy.
m-dPEG8-MAL is part of a family of PEG products that includes azide PEG and N3 PEG, which are used for different types of conjugation reactions. These heterobifunctional PEG compounds provide versatility in peg
