Sodium Deoxycholate, or Deoxycolic Acid Sodium Salt, is an ionic detergent purified from bovine bile. It is an effective reagent for the solubilization of membrane-bound proteins. When used in cell culture, Sodium Deoxycholate has been observed to enhance pathogenic activity.
Sodium Deoxycholate is of >98% purity and is soluble in aqueous solutions with generous stirring. This 10% solution is pre-filtered for direct use in microbiology applications. A number of RIPA Buffers for protein purification and lysis are available for your convenience.
