ETHANOLAMINE HYDROCHLORIDE Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Chemical Properties

White or slightly beige agglomerating crystals

Uses

Ethanolamine hydrochloride has been used:

• in overnight incubation of the tips to attach primary amine groups at the tip surface
• in the preparation of DMEM (dulbecco′s modified eagle′s medium)/F-12 media to culture human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) cells derived from MMTV-HER2 transgenic mouse mammary tumors
• to administer the cultures to study its effect on the endogenous phosphatidyl ethanolamine pool and autophagy process

Biochem/physiol Actions

Ethanolamine hydrochloride is utilized as a carbon and nitrogen source by bacteria that differs phylogenetically. It exists as phosphotidylethanolamine in the bacterial and mammalian cell membrane. Ethanolamine-ammonia lyase is responsible for the degradation of ethanolamine into acetaldehyde and ammonia. Ethanolamine is known to positively support lipid accumulation in photosynthetic organism model.

Purification Methods

Recrystallise the salt from EtOH. It is deliquescent; store it dry. [Beilstein 4 IV 1406.]
