    Description

    L-lactate Sodium (Sodium (S)-2-hydroxypropanoate) is a buildiing block which can be used as a precursor for the production of the bioplastic polymer poly-lactic acid. L-Lactic acid Sodium has antiproliferative activity[1][2][3].

    In Vitro

    L-Lactic Acid (24-48 h) sodium secreted from gastric mucosal cells enhances growth of Helicobacter pylori[1].
    L-Lactic Acid (48 h) sodium shows antiproliferative activity against human A549 and MRC5 cells, with IC50 of 26.6 μM and 23.93 μM[2].

    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.
