A water-soluble nitric oxide (NO) donor. More stable (t½ = 28.5-30.2 hr) than SNAP in aqueous solution with or without EDTA and is relatively stable at high pH (pH 8 - 9). The SNAP moiety acts as an NO group donor and the sugar moiety provides hydrophilicity and specificity. Compared to SNAP, glyco-SNAP-1 decomposes at a much slower rate in the presence of thiols such as glutathione or cysteine.
Storage
Store at -20° C. Unstable in solution; reconstitute just prior to use.
