Tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine hydrochloride

Tris(carboxyethyl)phosphine·HCl, also known as TCEP·HCl, is used to reduce disulfide bonds in protein samples. TCEP·HCl presents numerous advantages over the commonly used DTT and DTE: it is faster, stable to oxygen and metals, and appears as a non-volatile odourless solid. Furthermore, TCEP·HCl can be used at a broader pH range compared to DTT and DTE.

Tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine hydrochloride is widely used as a reducing agent to reduce disulfide bonds in proteins and trans-4,5-dihydroxy-1,2-dithiane. It is involved in the reduction of sulfoxides, sulfonyl chlorides, N-oxides and azides. It plays an important role in the tissue homogenization process for RNA isolation. It acts as a chelating agent and forms complexes with various heavy metal ions such as Zn(II), Cd(II), Pb(II), and Ni(II). Furthermore, it is useful in the labeling of cysteine residues with maleimides. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio.

Tris (2-Carboxyethyl) Phosphine Hydrochloride (TCEP) is a compound that has been used as a chemical reagent in biological biochemical reactions. It is an experimental model for the study of transfer reactions and has shown to be toxic to mammalian cells. TCEP was found to inhibit mitochondrial functions and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in human serum. It also inhibited protein synthesis in vitro, which may be due to its ability to bind basic proteins. TCEP is used as a matrix effect control in vitro methods and has shown to have a positive response element on certain genes.
