Ethylene Glycol-bis-(beta-aminoethylether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic Acid is a chelating agent. It is an inhibitor of alkaline phosphatase activity which is useful in ELISA reactions.
Ethylene Glycol-bis-(beta-aminoethylether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic Acid is a chelating agent for determination of calcium in the presence of magnesium; it can also detect cadmium in the presence of zinc. It is also useful for the removal of heavy metal ions in biological systems. It is shown to activate Ca2+- stimulated ATPase in rat liver plasma membranes and induce apoptosis in PC12 cells. It also inhibits the zinc-dependent endopeptidases, matrix metalloproteinases.
Soluble in alkaline solutions (1 g in 10 mL 1 N NaOH + 50 mL water-clear, colorless solution).
