Product Description
Sodium butyrate is the sodium salt of the short-chain fatty acid butyric acid. Butyrate is a metabolite of intestinal bacteria and a major energy source for gut epithelial cells, and is known to play a key role in the homeostasis of the gastrointestinal tract. A review of the effects of sodium butyrate on cell volume regulation and chloride transport in the rat distal colon has been published. Sodium butyrate is a known inhibitor of histone deacetylases. A study of the enhancement and suppression of various cytokines in stimulated human monocytes using sodium butyrate has been reported. In cultured mouse and human cells, sodium butyrate has been shown to inhibit both the mRNA and protein content of cyclin D1.

LS 033-01 contains 110.1 g/L sodium butyrate in cell/tissue culture grade water (LS 016-01).
