2361A 00005 is referred as ISO PROPYL b-D-1THIOGALACTOPYRANOSIDE (IPTG) under Research Lab Fine Chem Industries catalogue. 2361A 00005 ISO PROPYL b-D-1THIOGALACTOPYRANOSIDE (IPTG) is a non-metabolizable galactose analog commonly used in molecular biology. It is used cloning procedures that require the induction of -galactosidase activity. It mimics allolactose (which triggers the transcription of lac-operon) and is thus used to induce transcription where the gene is controlled by a lac operon. Unlike allolactose IPTG is not hydrolyzed by -galactosidase and thus its concentrations remains constant during the reaction.
