INDOLE-3-ACETIC ACID (IAA) 99% For Biochemistry - 5 gm

Description

00825 00005 is referred as INDOLE-3-ACETIC ACID (IAA) under Research Lab Fine Chem Industries catalogue.00825 00005 INDOLE-3-ACETIC ACID (IAA) is the most common naturally occurring auxin (plant hormone). It has been widely studied by scientists and is the best known auxin. It is a derivative of indole and is soluble in polar organic solvents. Plants synthesize indole-3-acetic acid by independent biochemical pathways and mainly produced in the cells of the apex(bud) and young leaves. It induces cell elongation and cell division resulting in growth and development. It can be synthesized chemically by the reaction of indole with glycolic acid in basic conditions at 250 C. It is listed in its MSDS as being mutagenic to mammalian somatic cells. Based on data from animal studies it is possibly carcinogenic and has reproductive effects like fetotoxicity and birth defects.
