THAM
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
THAM (Tris) is a low-toxicity amino alcohol buffer, a specific CO2-consuming proton acceptor that buffers carbon dioxide and acid both in vitro and in vivo. THAM binds protons to form bicarbonate, reduces PaCO2, and induces intracellular alkalization, thereby ameliorating hypercapnia-induced elevation of pulmonary blood vessels and pulmonary arterial pressure. THAM may cause PaCO2 rebound, hypoglycemia, and respiratory depression. THAM removes amniotic epithelium and preserves the basement membrane, but depletes extracellular matrix and reduces the adhesion rate of limbal epithelial cells. THAM can act as a CO2 carrier to enhance the productivity and carbon utilization rate of Scenedesmus obliquus. THAM is a key component of buffer solutions used in various biological, cell culture, biochemical, and molecular biology applications.

Biological Activity
THAM (5 min) induces intracellular alkalization in human HepG2 hepatocytes perfused with acidotic artificial media, with a larger effect in the presence of low extracellular non-bicarbonate buffer compared to high extracellular non-bicarbonate buffer[3].
THAM (110 μL) induces intracellular alkalization in human HepG2 hepatocytes bathed in acidotic human blood[3].
THAM (2-8 mmol/L; 40 min) enhances CO2 gas absorptivity and total inorganic carbon storage capacity of modified BG-11 medium, with the highest TIC absorption observed at 8 mmol·L-1[5].
THAM (2-8 mmol/L; 8 days) improves biomass productivity of Scenedesmus dimorphus in indoor shake flask culture, while also increasing polyunsaturated fatty acid content and showing no biodegradation over 8 days[5].
THAM (6 mmol/L; 8 days) increases biomass areal productivity of Scenedesmus dimorphus by 32-33% and CO2 utilisation efficiency by 6-12% in outdoor 2 m2 raceway pond culture, while also increasing polyunsaturated fatty acid content[5].
