General description
Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) is a strong acid. At the pH of drinking water, TCA exists almost in salt form.
Application
Trichloroacetic acid solution has been used:
- in indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) enzyme assay to hydrolyze N-formylkynurenine and produce kynurenine
- in the proliferation of human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (HPASMCs)
- to treat ground tissue and precipitate proteins during protein extraction and quantification
Biochem/physiol Actions
Trichloroacetic acid solution is traditionally used to precipitate protein. It can be used to determine protein concentration by quantitative precipitation. Trichloroacetic acid can also be used as a decalcifier and fixative in microscopy.
Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) with no known systemic toxicity, is used as a time-honored agent for superficial peeling. It is a peroxisome proliferator.

The segregation of chromosomes is a critical step during cell division. This process is driven by the elongation of spindle microtubules and is tightly regulated by checkpoint mechanisms. It is unknown whether microtubules affect checkpoint responses as passive contributors or

The ratio of the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) cofactor tetrahydrobiopterin (BH(4)) to its oxidized form dihydrobiopterin (BH(2)) has been suggested as an index of endothelial dysfunction. Consequently, much effort has been put into preserving the in vivo equilibrium between these

Microenvironmental factors contribute to the immune dysfunction characterizing acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) is an interferon (IFN)-γ-inducible enzyme that degrades tryptophan into kynurenine, which, in turn, inhibits effector T cells and promotes regulatory T-cell (Treg) differentiation. It
