Biochem/physiol Actions

Ethylene glycol-bis(β-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N′,N′-tetra acetic acid tetrasodium salt (EGTA) dissociates mucin complex and is useful in immunohistochemical studies. It suppresses root growth and mitotic index in germinating wheat seeds. It is used as a decalifying agent in root canal biomechanical preparation and is effective compared to EDTA and cyclohexanediaminetetraacetic acid (CDTA).
