Application

Octyl β-D-1-thioglucopyranoside can be used as a non-ionic detergent for solubilization and reconstitution of membrane proteins. It has been used in a study to assess the crystallization and preliminary x-ray analysis of human plasma apolipoprotein C-I. It has also been used in a study that investigated the identification of Chlamydia pneumoniae proteins.

Dystrophin is purified as a complex with several proteins from the digitonin-solubilized muscle cell membrane. Most of dystrophin-associated proteins (DAPs) are assumed to form a large oligomeric transmembranous glycoprotein complex on the sarcolemma and link dystrophin with a basement membrane
