Functions

BAPTA-AM is a selective cell permeable Ca2+ chelator. It is a widely used intracellular calcium sponge. Rapidly taken up by cells where it is irreversibly hydrolyzed to BAPTA by intracellular esterases.  Pretreatment of cells with BAPTA-AM inhibits thapsigargin-induced responses.

 

Application Procedures

First dissolved in DMSO (up to 15 mg/ml), in DMF (up to 25 mg/ml) or in Ethanol (up to 5 mg/ml), then diluted to aqueous buffer. Solutions in DMSO, DMF or ethanol may be stored at -20°C for up to 1 week.
