EGTA is a useful chemical in a variety of buffers, EGTA is a chelating agent useful for the determination of calcium in the presence of magnesium, since EGTA has greater specificity for calcium ions. Inhibitor of alkaline phosphatase activity which is useful in ELISA reactions. EGTA is shown to activate Ca2+-stimulated ATPase in rat liver plasma membranes and induce apoptosis in PC12 cells. It also inhibits the zinc-dependent endopeptidases, Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs).
