| Description: | Trimethyl chitosan (TMC) is a derivative of Chitosan and a multifunctional polymer. Trimethyl chitosan targets the absorption enhancing proteins of tight junctions of intestinal and mucosal epithelial cells, induces tight junction protein rearrangement, and increases intercellular permeability. Trimethyl chitosan can stimulate the activity of promoting transmembrane transport of hydrophilic compounds (such as peptides and proteins) and can be used for delivery and synthesis of nanoparticles. |
| Stability and Solubility Advice: | Information concerning product stability, particularly in solution, has rarely been reported and in most cases we can only offer a general guide. We recommend that stock solutions, once prepared, are stored aliquoted in tightly sealed vials and used within 1 month. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles. Storage conditions for some special products should refer to their storage details. |
