Properties
Description
Mannose-PEG-SH, known as thiol-PEG-mannose, is a research-specific construct synthesized by attaching mannose to a 5 kDa PEG spacer and a thiol. It exploits mannose's lectin recognition, PEG's biocompatibility, and thiol's functionality.
Molecular Weight
PEG: 5 kDa
Form
Solid or viscous liquid
Impurities
No visible impurities to the naked eye.
Solubility
This product is soluble in most organic solvents, such as DCM, DMF, DMSO, and THF, and exhibits excellent solubility in water.
Applications
Mannose-PEG-SH can be used to quantify mannose receptor clustering effects on immune cell signaling.
