Top product applications:

• Isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) is used in molecular biology as a lactose repressor protein inducer, allowing for the expression of genes under the control of the lac operon.
• IPTG is used in the production of recombinant proteins in E. coli, as it binds to the lac repressor protein, preventing it from binding to the operator region and allowing for transcription of the target gene.
• IPTG is used as a selective agent in the screening of E. coli colonies that have been transformed with plasmids containing the lac operon, allowing for the identification of colonies that have taken up the plasmid and are expressing the target gene.
