n-Octyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (OGP) is a non–ionic detergent intended for solubilizing membrane–bound proteins in their native state and for the preparation of lipid vesicles. It has a well–defined chemical structure, small uniform micelles, and high water solubility, which make it superior to most other nonionic detergents for membrane solubilization. Because of the high critical micelle concentration (20-25 mM), n-Octyl-β-D-glucopyranoside has the additional advantage of being removed easily by dialysis when compared to bile salts. n-Octyl-β-D-glucopyranoside is also known as N-Octyl glucoside, OGP, OG, n-Octylglucoside, and octyl-β-D-glucopyranoside.
