Octyl thiomaltoside  (Synonyms: Octyl β-D-thiomaltopyranoside)

Cat. No.: HY-W250181
Handling Instructions

Octyl thiomaltoside (OTM) is a nonionic detergent commonly used in the purification and crystallization of membrane proteins. It belongs to the family of maltoside detergents and has a hydrophilic head group and a lipophilic tail group, enabling it to interact with water-soluble and membrane-bound proteins. OTMs are known for their ability to solubilize integral membrane proteins without disrupting their structure or function, making them an invaluable tool in biochemical and biophysical research. In addition to protein research, OTMs are used in a variety of other applications, including drug delivery systems, nanotechnology, and diagnostic analysis.

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.
