EDTA, AM

Names

[ Name ]:
EDTA, AM

[Synonym ]:
Acetoxymethyl 8,11-bis[2-(acetoxymethoxy)-2-oxoethyl]-2,6-dioxo-3,5-dioxa-8,11-diazatridecan-13-oate

Biological Activity

[Description]:

EDTA-AM (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, acetoxymethyl ester) is the membrane-permeant form of the metal chelator EDTA (HY-Y0682). Live cells passively load EDTA-AM by incubating with EDTA-AM. Once internalized, cytoplasmic esterase decomposes AM esters, releasing the active ligand EDTA, which isolates metal ions within the cell. EDTA-AM induces an arrest of mitotic progression and chromosome decondensation[1][2].
