EDTA-AM  (Synonyms: EDTA acetoxymethyl ester; Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid acetoxymethyl ester)

Cat. No.: HY-D1746 Purity: ≥98.0%
COA Handling Instructions

EDTA-AM (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, acetoxymethyl ester) is the membrane-permeant form of the metal chelator EDTA (HY-Y0682). Live cells passively load EDTA-AM by incubating with EDTA-AM. Once internalized, cytoplasmic esterase decomposes AM esters, releasing the active ligand EDTA, which isolates metal ions within the cell. EDTA-AM induces an arrest of mitotic progression and chromosome decondensation.

Description

EDTA-AM (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, acetoxymethyl ester) is the membrane-permeant form of the metal chelator EDTA (HY-Y0682). Live cells passively load EDTA-AM by incubating with EDTA-AM. Once internalized, cytoplasmic esterase decomposes AM esters, releasing the active ligand EDTA, which isolates metal ions within the cell. EDTA-AM induces an arrest of mitotic progression and chromosome decondensation[1][2].

In Vitro

EDTA-AM treatment of mitotic cells:
1. Mitotic cells were collected and seeded onto a 12-well culture plate with poly lysine-coated coverslips and DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS.
2. EDTA-AM was dissolved in 100 mM DMSO, EDTA-AM was added to the culture medium at a final concentration of 20 mM with 0.02% Pluronic F-127 (Invitrogen), and the cells were further incubated at 37C for 100 min.
3.After incubation, the numbers of mitotic cells and interphase cells were counted. The cells on the coverslips were fixed, stained with DAPI, and mounted with para-phenylene diamine (PPDI) solution (20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 1 mM MgCl2, 100 mM KCl, 78% glycerol, 1 mg/mL PPDI).

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
