Reducing Agents

Reducing Agents, sometimes referred to as reductants or reducers, are elements or compounds that lose an electron to some other chemical species in a redox chemical reaction. A reducing agent is usually in one of its lower oxidation states and is known as the electron donor. Reducing agents are typically used in protein solutions in order to cleave the disulfide bond between cysteine amino acids, but most are used in a variety of other applications across many fields of science. GoldBio has a number of reducing agents available, including DTT (dithiothreitol), glutathione, DTE (dithioerythritol) and TCEP. GoldBio Reducing Agents are Proven and Published™ ensuring quality agents with optimum potential.

Cysteamine Hydrochloride

Catalog ID Size Pricing
C-122-100 4 x 25 g $ 141.00
C-122-25 25 g $ 141.00

Description

Cysteamine Hydrochloride or cysteamine is a mercaptoethylamine hydrochloride salt reductant that forms in mammals from pantetheine formation by degrading Coenzyme A. It has been used as a cystine depleting agent as well as a somatostatin inhibitor.

Cysteamine has been shown in vivo to remove accumulated cystine in lysosomes by forming disulfide bridges with cystine. The interaction between cysteamine and cystine forms cysteine and cysteine-cysteamine mixed disulfide which can freely exit lysosomes.

Cysteamine has also been shown to inhibit somatostatin however, the mechanism of action has not been elucidated. It is believed to either inhibit somatostatin precursor formation or by promoting somatostatin degradation.

Description

Dithioerythritol (DTE) is one of two Cleland's Reagents (along with DTT). The two chemicals are epimers of each other, in which the hydroxyl groups of DTE are in the cis form as opposed to the trans form for DTT.

DTE is a strong reducing agent and is a component of buffers used in protocols for the isolation and purification of proteins.

Description

Dithiothreitol (DTT) is the common name of the more popular of the two Cleland’s Reagents (the other being Dithioerythritol or DTE). DTT is a powerful reducing agent that forms a stable six-membered ring with an internal disulfide bond which is resistant to oxidation. DTT is often used for the following: reducing the disulfide bridge of the cross-linker N,N′-bis(acryloyl) cystamine to break apart the matrix of a polyacrylamide gel, the reduction of disulfide bonds in proteins, the prevention of those bonds from forming between cysteine residues and lastly, DTT is often used to reduce thiolated DNA in order to minimize dimerization.

DTT is a nearly 7-fold stronger reduction agent than βME (β-mercaptoethanol) and has a less offensive odor and is less toxic.

Description

Glutathione, Oxidized (GSSG) is the oxidized version of the naturally occurring and very important detoxification agent glutathione (GSH). When used in vivo, GSSG will not remain oxidized, but rather be reduced back to GSH. A ratio of GSH to GSSG can be used to determine the level of oxidative stress that has occurred in cells. When a cell has higher levels of GSSG, then it can be implied that more oxidative stress has occurred within the cell.
