<h3>Overview</h3>
<p>J&K Isopropyl β-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG), 98% reagent grade, is a synthetic analog of galactose used as an <strong>inducer</strong> for the lac operon in molecular biology. It mimics allolactose to trigger gene expression without being metabolized. <strong>Molecular Formula</strong>: C9H18O5S; <strong>CAS No.</strong>: 367-93-1.</p>
<h3>Application</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Recombinant Protein Production:</strong> Induces high-level expression in E. coli systems.</li>
<li><strong>Gene Regulation Studies:</strong> Analyzes promoter activity and transcriptional control mechanisms.</li>
<li><strong>Biochemical Assays:</strong> Serves as a substrate mimic in enzymatic reaction studies.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Precautions</h3>
<p>Not for clinical use. Avoid inhalation and skin contact; wear protective gloves and eyewear. Store in a cool, dry place sealed under inert atmosphere to prevent hydrolysis or degradation.</p>
