EGTA

• Description :

  EGTA is a specific calcium ion chelator. EGTA has an apparent calcium dissociation constant (Kd) of 60.5 nM at physiological pH (7.4) and has very high specificity for Ca2+ over Mg2+ (Mg2+ Kd 1-10 mM) . EGTA significantly inhibits the substrate adherence capacity of inflammatory macrophages[1][2].
