Digitonin, MP Biomedicals™

Description

Used to solubilize receptors and permeabilize cellular and nuclear membranes. Digitonin, MP Biomedicals is a mild nonionic detergent that permeabilizes plasma membranes of eukaryotic cells by complexing with membrane cholesterol and other unconjugated &be

Digitonin has following uses:

• Cholesterol determination
• Use of digitonin-permeabilized adipocytes for cAMP studies
• Solubilization of membrane proteins
• The water soluble form can be used for the isolation of mitotic chromosomes
