Storage: Store at Room Temperature (15-30 °C). Store Desiccated. Store under nitrogen.
L-Cysteine is a proteinogenic amino acid incorporated into proteins as directed by the genetic code. The thiol-side chain participates in a variety of oxidation/reduction reactions within the cell. The side chain participates in the formation of β bonds that modulate the secondary and ternary structure of proteins. Cysteine is essential and limiting for the formation of glutathione, an important antioxidant, within the cell.
Cysteine has been used in pulse-chase experiments to study protein expression from an inducible promoter. L-Cysteine is used to supplement cell culture media.
NMDA glutamatergic receptor agonist.

Polysorbate 20, clear cell culture reagent

Supplier: MP Biomedicals

Storage: Room Temperature
Polysorbate 20 is nonionic surfactants derived from sorbitan ester, it is soluble or dispersible in water but differ widely in organic and oil solubility.
Polysorbate 20 is typically used as an emulsifying agent for the preparation of stable oil-in-water emulsions, particularly in pharmaceutical applications. It is also used in pre-extraction of membranes to remove peripheral proteins & as a blocking agent on nitrocellulose at a typical concentration of 0.05%.
Series of nonionic surfactants derived from sorbitan esters. They are soluble or dispersible in water but differ widely in organic and oil solubilities. Used as oil-in-water emulsifiers in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, cleaning compounds, etc.

myo-Inositol, white powder cell culture reagent

Supplier: MP Biomedicals

Storage: Store at Room Temperature (15-30 °C).
D-myo-Inositol is a component of membrane phospholipids, glycosylphophatidylinositol anchors that bind glycoproteins to cell membranes, and inositol phosphate second messengers. It is a growth factor for animals as well as microorganisms. Myo-Inositol is the most abundant form of polyols that serves as a structural element of secondary messengers in eukaryotic cells. Inositol or cyclohexane-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexol is a chemical compound, a sixfold alcohol (polyol) of cyclohexane. It exists in nine possible stereoisomers, of which the most prominent form, widely occurring in nature, is cis-1,2,3,5-trans-4,6-cyclohexanehexol, or myo-inositol (former name meso-inositol). Inositol is a carbohydrate, though not a classical sugar. It has a taste which has been assayed at half the sweetness of table sugar. Used as a lipotropic agent.
A component of membrane phospholipids, glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchors that bind glycoproteins to cell membranes, and inositol phosphate second messengers. In addition, inositol serves as an important component of the structural lipids phosphatidylinositol (PI) and its various phosphates, the phosphatidylinositol phosphate (PIP) lipids.
