54724-00-4 Usage
Uses
Used in Food Industry:
Curdlan is used as a gelling agent for improved water retention in sausage and ham, improved consistency in oriental-style noodles, and to provide viscosity and texture.
Used in Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Applications:
Curdlan is used as a stimulant for the regulation of differentially expressed genes in carp macrophages and to stimulate human intestinal epithelial cells for cytokine secretion.
Used in Research and Diagnostics:
Curdlan is used as a substrate in β-1,3–1,4-Glucanase activity assay and to study its effect on transcriptional responses of inflammation/respiratory burst-associated genes in mouse alveolar macrophages using customized reverse transcription (RT)-PCR based arrays.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Curdlan is used as a food additive in the food industry. It improves the elasticity and reduces the embrittling tendency of hydroxyapatite/chitosan scaffold, which aids in bone regeneration.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 54724-00-4 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 5,4,7,2 and 4 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 0 and 0 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 54724-00:
(7*5)+(6*4)+(5*7)+(4*2)+(3*4)+(2*0)+(1*0)=114
114 % 10 = 4
So 54724-00-4 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
