Merck, H3149-50KU, Heparin sodium salt from porcine intestinal mucosa

General description
Heparin sodium, a sulfated polysaccharide from the glycosaminoglycan family, plays a vital role in cell culture, cancer biology, and drug discovery research. Its impact on protein and cell interactions makes it valuable for studying molecular and cellular processes, tumor modeling, exploring binding interactions, and as a cell culture supplement to support cell viability.
Heparin is mainly responsible for the delay in the coagulation of blood. It enhances the antithrombin-mediated inactivation of proteases in the coagulation pathway.
Application
Heparin sodium salt from porcine intestinal mucosa has been used in sLRP (soluble circulating low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein-1) purification from human plasma.
It has been used as a supplement in M199 medium for culturing of human umbilical vein endothelial cells.
It has been used as an anticoagulant agent during isolation of blood.

Features and Benefits
