Heparin Solution, 1000 units/ml Sterile filtered Cell culture tested

Heparin is a linear polysaccharide consisting of repeating disaccharide units of L-iduronic acid or its epimer D-glucuronic acid and D-glucosamine, which is either N-acetylated or N-sulfated. Heparin is a highly sulfated form of heparan sulfate and belongs to glycosaminoglycan(GAG) group of sugars. Chemically it is acidic in nature. Single molecule of heparin carries 75-100 negative charges. As a result, heparin interacts with a large number of proteins and other basic molecules through ionic and hydrogen bonding interactions. It is involved in a wide range of fundamental biological processes, including proliferation, differentiation, tissue homeostasis, and viral pathogenesis. TCL129 is a sterile filtered solution of Heparin sodium salt of concentration 1000Units per ml prepared in tissue culture grade water. It does not contain any preservative.
