Isoxanthopterin is a heterocyclic compound belonging to the pteridine family and its activity is mainly reflected in its optical properties. Isoxanthopterin can form a reflective layer in the eyes of animals, enhancing visual function. The main regulatory mechanism of isoxanthopterin involves its ability to form a crystalline structure within organisms, which achieves a high refractive index through specific hydrogen bonding patterns and molecular arrangements. Isoxanthopterin can be used for research in materials science and optical engineering.

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.
