Dl-Dithiothreitol Solution

Dithiothreitol (DTT), a thiol group protectant, is an excellent reagent for preventing the oxidation of SH groups in proteins. DTT solution is a potent and versatile disulfide-reducing agent. It reduces a disulfide bond by forming a six-membrane ring and initiating a thiol-disulfide interchange.

Application

DL-dithiothreitol solution has been used:

• in the treatment of intestinal explants
• in homogenate preparation of gill cells for enzymatic assays
• in protein electrophoresis for western blotting
• in transglutaminase activity
• in sample buffer for SDS-PAGE
• in Western Blot, as a lysis buffer component for single-nucleus RNA-sequencing
• as a component of protein extraction buffer for cell lysis
