Sodium caprate, 5 g

Sodium Caprate Application Notes In a chemical model system, sodium caprate has been used in 13C NMR studies of the addition of hydrophilic and hydrophobic molecules to the 1-monooleoyl glycerol/water system, to elucidate the transport of biologically active molecules. The amphiphilic character of sodium caprate has allowed for its use as an agent for transport of molecules across cell membranes and the blood brain barrier. Tight junction proteins and paracellular pathways in Caco-2 and T84 cell lines have been studied with sodium caprate as a probe. It has also been utilized in gene transfer studies in cultured human airway epithelial cells.
