General description

Heparin is a glycosaminoglycan (GAG) belonging to the mucopolysaccharides family, known for its potent anticoagulant properties. This extensively sulfated polysaccharide consists of D-glucosamine and hexuronic acid linked via glycosidic linkages. It finds wide application in biochemical research and cell culture studies.

Application

Heparin sodium salt from porcine intestinal mucosa has been supplemented in the medium prepared for insemination of oocytes with spermatozoa. Heparin sodium salt from porcine intestinal mucosa has been used:
  • to check the effect of heparin on FGF21 (fibroblast growth factor 21) signaling.
  • in immunostaining of mice brain sections
  • to quantify white blood cells and red blood cells in Sparus aurata blood samples
  • in anticoagulation and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) inhibition assay

Biochem/physiol Actions

Heparin is mainly responsible for the delay in the coagulation of blood. It enhances the antithrombin-mediated inactivation of proteases in the coagulation pathway.

Heparin is synthesized in mast cells and mediators such as histamine and is associated with allergy and inflammatory activity. Heparin shows therapeutic effects against venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, helps in preventing re-thrombosis post thrombolysis, and manages arterial thrombosis in patients who suffer from acute myocardial infarction. Heparin shows anti-inflammatory action in many inflammatory conditions such as burns, bronchial asthma, and ulcerative colitis.

Other Notes

For additional information on our range of Biochemicals, please complete this form.
Heparin for diagnostic manufacturing is available as product number SRE0027
Heparin solutions should not be autoclaved as additional crosslinking of the sugars may occur at high temperatures. It should not be frozen as well.

  1. What is the molecular weight of Heparin sodium salt?

    Heparin is a mixture of polyanion chains having molecular weights ranging from 6,000 to 30,000 Daltons, with most chains in the range of 17,000 to 19,000 Daltons.

  2. How much Heparin sodium salt, is used to prevent coagulation?

    We suggest using 20 to 50 units per mL of blood.

  3. What is the best way to sterilize Heparin sodium salt?

    Although solutions may be autoclaved at 121 °C for 5 to 10 minutes, we generally recommend sterile filtration. This is because prolonged autoclaving may have an effect on its activity.  

  4. What concentration of Heparin sodium salt, can I use to inhibit RNAse activity?

    Heparin has been used at concentrations ranging from 100 to 500 μg/mL. This has been reported in the J. Biol. Chem., 248, 2095 (1973).

  5. Which document(s) contains shelf-life or expiration date information for a given product?

    If available for a given product, the recommended re-test date or the expiration date can be found on the Certificate of Analysis.

  6. How do I get lot-specific information or a Certificate of Analysis?

    The lot specific COA document can be found by entering the lot number above under the "Documents" section.

  7. How do I find price and availability?

    There are several ways to find pricing and availability for our products. Once you log onto our website, you will find the price and availability displayed on the product detail page.
