Product Description

Product Description

 

Sodium deoxycholate is a bile acid salt that serves as a surfactant and is commonly used in biological and medical applications. It is derived from the hydrolysis of naturally occurring glycodeoxycholic acid, which is a secondary bile acid produced in the liver of mammals and then secreted into the small intestine to aid in the digestion of fats.

Chemical Properties:

• Sodium deoxycholate has the chemical formula C24H39NaO5, and its molecular weight is approximately 430.56 g/mol.
• It is a white to off-white crystalline powder that is soluble in water and ethanol but insoluble in nonpolar solvents like hexane.
• The compound has a role in the solubilization and emulsification of lipids, which is crucial for the absorption of dietary fats.

Biological Functions:

• In the digestive system, sodium deoxycholate helps to emulsify fats, reducing the surface tension and allowing lipases to more effectively break down fat into absorbable components.
• It is also involved in the regulation of cholesterol homeostasis and the solubilization of cholesterol in the bile.

Laboratory Applications:

• Sodium deoxycholate is used as a component in the lysis buffer for the extraction of proteins and nucleic acids from cells, particularly in molecular biology and biochemistry research.
• It can be used to solubilize membrane proteins for further analysis or to disrupt cellular membranes during the preparation of cell lysates.
