Product Description: EGTA tetrasodium is a specific calcium ion chelator. EGTA tetrasodium 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 tetrasodium significantly inhibits the substrate adherence capacity of inflammatory macrophages[1][2].
Formula: C14H20N2Na4O10
