Tetrachloroauric acid
Catalog No. A86602

Tetrachloroauric acid is an Au (III) compound that acts as an erythrocyte lytic agent by disrupting the lipid bilayer of human red blood cell membranes. It specifically targets representative phospholipids such as dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine and dimyristoylphosphatidylethanolamine, leading to morphological alterations in intact red blood cells. This compound is utilized in research investigating neurotoxicity and hematotoxicity, including the analysis of human red blood cells and molecular models of cellular membranes, as well as immunohistochemical studies of mouse brain tissues.
