General description

1-O-n-Octyl-β-D-glucopyranoside, octylglucoside, is a detergent with an octyl chain as hydrophobic residue and glucose as hydrophilic part. It is a non-ionic, dialyzable, mild and non-denaturing detergent which is used for the solubilization, isolation and reconstitution of membrane proteins.

Application

N-Octylglucoside has been shown to increase the resolution of proteins in 2D gels. It is a mild and non-denaturing detergent for the solubilization and reconstitution of membrane proteins. N-Octylglucoside is easily removed by dialysis. N-Octylglucoside has been used in mass spectrometric immunoassay to homogenize MALDI (matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization) matrix draw and elution.
Non-ionic, dialyzable detergent for the solubilization and isolation of membrane proteins. Has been shown to increase the resolution of proteins in 2D gels.

Quality

Purity: 99% (from C), homogeneous (GC)

Ease of removal*: ++
CMC**: 14.5 mM at +25°C
Formula: C14H28O6

Preparation Note

Working concentration: 46 mM
Working solution: Solubility: > 50% (w/v) in double-dist. water, Tris-HCl 0.05 mol/l; pH7.4 or K-phosphate buffer 0.1 mol/l, pH 7.0 at 25 °C.
Storage conditions (working solution): Stability in Solution
A stock solution is stable at 2 to 8 °C for approx. 3 days. We would expect a long term stability of 6-12 months if stored frozen in portions at -15 to -25 °C, provided bacterial contamination is avoided.

Storage and Stability

Store at 15 to 25 °C. (Store dry!)

The N-alkyl moiety of N-alkylated imino sugars is crucial for therapeutic activities of these compounds as inhibitors of glycosphingolipid (GSL) biosynthesis and as antivirals. The improved potency afforded by a long N-alkyl moiety is coincident with increased compound-induced cytotoxicity. Therefore

The glycoprotein of vesicular stomatitis (VS) virus was selectively liberated from the virion membrane by the dialyzable nonionic detergent, beta-D-octylglucoside. The isolated viral glycoprotein could be rendered virtually free of phospholipid and detergent, under which conditions it formed tail-to-tail glycoprotein

Protein biomarkers are essential in assessing pathogenic processes. The impetus for finding new biomarkers has been accelerated by the arrival of the "omics" technologies. However, equally important is the rediscovery of existing biomarkers with these new approaches as novel variants

Post-translational modifications and genetic variations give rise to protein variants that significantly increase the complexity of the human proteome. Modified proteins also play an important role in biological processes. While sandwich immunoassays are routinely used to determine protein concentrations, they
