QUICK LINKS
Methyltrioctadecylammonium bromide, also referred to as MTOAB or MTODAB, is a quaternary ammonium salt in laboratory experiments. Methyltrioctadecylammonium bromide is a long chain ionophore in anion exchange for perchlorate-selective membranes. Methyltrioctadecylammonium bromide finds utility in diverse applications. It has been utilized to investigate protein-protein interactions, ion channels, and enzyme-substrate interactions. It contributes to studying the structure and functionality of cell membranes, including ion transport across them. The mechanism of action of Methyltrioctadecylammonium bromide involves the formation of a cationic lipid layer on the cell surface. This lipid layer acts as a protective barrier, preventing the entry of foreign molecules into the cell.Methyltrioctadecylammonium bromide has the ability to interact with specific proteins on the cell surface, leading to the formation of complexes that can modulate the cell′s physiology.
