| General description: | Sodium succinate dibasic hexahydrate is the sodium salt of succinic acid, a dicarboxylic acid. This versatile compound finds extensive use in cell biology, cell culture, and biochemical research applications. It serves as both an energy source and a buffer in cell culture and cell biology research, particularly within the Tricarboxylic Acid (TCA) or Krebs cycle. It is hypothesized that Sodium succinate dibasic hexahydrate acts as an ionophore, facilitating the transport of ions across cell membranes and thus influencing cellular metabolism. Also known as Succinic acid disodium salt, this product provides the necessary substrate for ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production, essential for optimal cellular function. |
