EGTA is a highly specific calcium ion chelator that operates by binding calcium ions with an apparent dissociation constant (Kd) of 60.5 nM at physiological pH (7.4). Its strong selectivity for Ca2+ over Mg2+ (with a Kd for Mg2+ ranging from 1-10 mM) makes it particularly valuable in research involving calcium signaling. EGTA is effective in inhibiting the substrate adherence capacity of inflammatory macrophages, making it useful in studying inflammatory responses and various cellular processes.
