TPEN (Standard)

TPEN (Standard) is the analytical standard of TPEN (HY-100202) . This product is intended for research and analytical applications. TPEN (TPEDA) is a specific cell-permeable heavy metal chelator. TPEN has a higher affinity for Zn2+, but a lower affinity for Mg2+ and Ca2+. TPEN induces DNA damage and increases intracellular ROS production. TPEN also inhibits cell proliferation and induces apoptosis[1][2][3].
