| Application: | Dextran sulfate sodium salt from Leuconostoc spp. has been used: • to evaluate the participation of sulfated glycans on the interaction of recombinant human proacrosin/acrosin with zona pellucida (ZP) glycoproteins • to inject into the vitreous cavity of embryonic day five chick embryos to assess the eye size and to study its impact on cell proliferation in the retina • to test the structural specificity of binding of TNF-stimulated gene 6 (TSG-6) to immobilized hyaluronan (HA) |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Dextran sulfate may exhibit anti-coagulant and antiviral properties. It may also help to lower cholesterol levels. It is extensively used as a plasma volume expander and fibrinolytic in the medical field. Dextran sulfate can also be used as a cross-linker for chitosan (CH). |
| General description: | Dextran sulfate sodium is a natural polymer of α-1,6-D-glucopyranose. It is a hydrophilic, biodegradable, and biocompatible polyanionic polymer. This highly branched polysaccharide has 1,6 and 1,4 glycosidic linkages, consisting of 2.3 sulfate groups per glucosyl unit. |
