Betaine (Standard)
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Betaine (Standard) is the analytical standard of Betaine. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Betaine (Trimethylglycine) is a natural compound found in many foods and also an active methyl-donor which can maintain normal DNA methylation patterns[1,2]. Betaine is found ubiquitously in plants, animals, microorganisms, and rich dietary sources including seafood, spinach, and wheat bran. Betaine also acts as an osmolyte, to maintain the avian’s cellular water and ion balance to improve the avian’s capacity against heat stress via preventing dehydration and osmotic inactivation. It helps in maintaining the protective osmolytic activity, especially in heat-stressed birds. Betaine may promote various intestinal microbes against osmotic variations and thus improve microbial fermentation activity.

Topics DNA Methylation: From Physiology to Pathology
DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification in which a methyl group is transferred to the fifth carbon of cytosine to generate 5-methylcytosine, and it functions as a major regulator of gene expression, cellular differentiation, and tissue-specific transcriptional programs.
