General description
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), a topical antiseptic, is synthesized in aerobic cells as a byproduct of aerobic respiration. It might also be produced as an output of enzymatic reactions in peroxisomes, mitochondria, or other cell compartments.
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry. This product has been enhanced for catalysis. Click here for more information.
Application
Hydrogen peroxide solution has been used:
- to treat nasal epithelial cells for H2O2 sensitivity assays
- to treat the human immortal keratinocyte cell line (HaCaT) and the human melanoma cell line (GLL19) to induce senescence
- to incubate brain sections for bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU)/NeuN staining
- in cell proliferation assay to incubate neural stem cells (NE-4C) for in vitro experiments
Biochem/physiol Actions
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is mainly used in wound cleaning. It can kill the pathogens through oxidation burst and by producing local oxygen. H2O2 functions as a signaling molecule or second messenger. It plays a key role in gene expression in numerous ways. H2O2 participates in modulating inflammation.
