Cat. No.: HY-B2227B Purity: 98.0%
Handling Instructions Technical Support

Lactic acid (DL-Lactic acid) sodium (60% w/w in water) is a hydroxycarboxylic acid receptor 1 (HCAR1) activator and an epigenetic modulator inducing lysine residues lactylation. Lactic acid sodium (60% w/w in water) is a glycolysis end-product, bridging the gap between glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation. Lactic acid sodium (60% w/w in water) is an oncometabolite and has immune protective role of lactate in anti-tumor immunity. Lactic acid sodium (60% w/w in water) also has antimicrobial activity, which can be used as a food preservative.

    Description

    Lactic acid (DL-Lactic acid) sodium (60% w/w in water) is a hydroxycarboxylic acid receptor 1 (HCAR1) activator and an epigenetic modulator inducing lysine residues lactylation. Lactic acid sodium (60% w/w in water) is a glycolysis end-product, bridging the gap between glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation. Lactic acid sodium (60% w/w in water) is an oncometabolite and has immune protective role of lactate in anti-tumor immunity[1][2]. Lactic acid sodium (60% w/w in water) also has antimicrobial activity, which can be used as a food preservative[3].

    In Vitro

    Lactic acid (20 mM; 24, 48 h) sodium (60% w/w in water) results in a significant decrease in cell proliferation and migration, acting and switching cell metabolism toward oxidative phosphorylation[1].
    Lactic acid (20 mM; 24 h) sodium (60% w/w in water) shows an increase in the protein and mRNA expression levels of MCT1 and HCAR1[1].

    MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
