DIGITONIN AR
Description
Digitonin is a steroidal saponin (saraponin) obtained from the foxglove plant Digitalis purpurea.
Its aglycone is digitogenin, a spirostan steroid.
Application
Application
Digitonin is used as the cell-permeabilizing agent as it is a weak nonionic detergent, which at low concentrations selectively renders the plasma membrane permeable, causing it to release cytosolic components but to leave other organelles intact.
