Description_x000D_ Application_x000D_ Iodoacetic acid has been used as an alkylating agent for antibody AR37, serum proteins and strawberry proteome samples extracted from different stages of ripened fruit._x000D_ Reagent for the modification of cysteine residues in proteins._x000D_ Packaging_x000D_ 10, 25, 100 g in glass bottle_x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ Iodoacetic acid (IAA) blocks the thiol group of cysteine. IAA inhibits glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (G3PDH) by interacting with sulfhydryl group of the active site cysteine. IAA inhibits the progression of solid Ehrlich carcinoma. IAA is one of the iodinated disinfection byproducts in drinking water. It is cytotoxic to mammalian cells.
