General description

Heme is a small molecule present either free or bound to hemoglobin in the bloodstream of mammals. This is an alternative source of iron within the host that contains a porphyrin ring containing a Fe2+ ion called hemin.

Application

Hemin was used to study conjugation, characterization and toxicity of lipophosphoglycan-polyacrylic acid conjugate for vaccination against leishmaniasis.

  3. What is the solubility of Hemin, Product H9039?

    Hemin can be dissolved in basic solution.  A 25 mg/ml solution can be prepared in 1.4 M ammonium hydroxide with heating to 95°C for less than 5 minutes. Hemin is also expected to be soluble in a sodium hydroxide solution. Hemin has been reported to be soluble at 1 mM concentration in DMSO, per Tomlinson and Ferguson, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 97, 5156-5160 (2000).  A 0.25% hemin solution can also be prepared in 50% triethanolamine solution.

  4. How stable is Hemin, Product H9039, in solution?

    Sigma-Aldrich has not evaluated the solution stability of hemin solutions.  Also, we have not found any information on solution storage in the literature. We recommend that solutions be prepared fresh.

  5. What is the shelf life for Hemin, Product H9039?

    There is no shelf life date assigned to this product. The guarantee of quality is for one year from the time of shipment for bottles stored as recommended.

  6. What are some applications for Hemin, Product H9039?

    Hemin-agarose has reportedly been prepared for use in affinity chromatography of heme-binding proteins.  See Tsutsui, K., Affinity chromatography of heme-binding proteins: Synthesis of hemin-agarose. Meth. Enzymol. 123, 331, (1986). Sigma supplies a hemin agarose, product H6390. Hemin can also be used as a component in culture media for the cultivation of bacteria, such as Leishmania tarentolae.

Research on the conjugates of synthetic polyelectrolytes with antigenic molecules, such as proteins, peptides, or carbohydrates, is an attractive area due to their highly immunogenic character in comparison to classical adjuvants. For example, polyacrylic acid (PAA) is a weak polyelectrolyte
