Usage

General Description

Dextran Sulfate is a high molecular weight, negatively charged, polysaccharide that has widely been used for various biochemical and biomedical applications. It is a complex mixture of polymers and is often used as a laboratory agent due to its antiviral and anticoagulant properties. It inhibits certain proteins and is used in labs to prevent blood clotting in tubes and to study lipoprotein metabolism. It is also used in gene therapy for its capacity to improve the efficiency of transfection. Note that while it has potential therapeutic uses, it may also exhibit cytotoxicity, demonstrates anti-inflammatory effects, and can alter lipoprotein levels, which can interact with a range of biological conditions.
