General description

L-Threonine is a naturally occurring amino acid belonging to the aspartate family of amino acids.

Application

L-Threonine has been used for the following :
  • To study the effect of heat on homoserine kinase activity
  • In Plackett–Burman analysis and then to study the effect of selected amino acids on monoclonal antibody production in CHO cells
  • As a substrate to determine the L-threonine dehydrogenase activity
  • To study the effect of L-Threonine on the growth rate of P. putida, to check for its tolerance towards L-Threonine

Biochem/physiol Actions

L-Threonine is considered to be an essential amino acid. L-Threonine is involved in the synthesis of mucin, a protein supporting intestinal function and integrity. L-Threonine is required for the performance of the immune system. It is also essential for O-linked glycosylation, protein phosphorylation and glycine synthesis.

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/418/501/product-dating-information-06-25-mk.pdf

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
