Ethylene glycol-bis(2-aminoethylether)-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid
Formular: [-CH2OCH2CH2N(CH2CO2H)2]2
MW: 380.35
EGTA, or Ethylene glycol bis(2-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid, is a chelating agent. It's commonly used in biochemistry and cell biology to selectively bind calcium ions and control their concentration in solutions, particularly in experiments involving cells where calcium plays a crucial role. Compared to EDTA, EGTA has a much higher affinity for calcium ions and a lower affinity for magnesium ions, making it a useful tool for studying calcium-dependent processes.
Applications:
Controlling Calcium Concentrations: EGTA is frequently used to buffer calcium concentrations in solutions, creating controlled environments for experiments on cells or biochemical reactions.
Studying Calcium Signaling: By manipulating calcium levels with EGTA, researchers can investigate how calcium signals contribute to various cellular functions.
Protein Purification: EGTA is used in protein purification techniques, particularly in affinity chromatography, to elute (remove) calcium-binding proteins from a column.
