General description
Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) is a strong acid. At the pH of drinking water, TCA exists almost in salt form.
Application
Trichloroacetic acid solution has been used:
- in indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) enzyme assay to hydrolyze N-formylkynurenine and produce kynurenine
- in the proliferation of human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (HPASMCs)
- to treat ground tissue and precipitate proteins during protein extraction and quantification
Biochem/physiol Actions
Trichloroacetic acid solution is traditionally used to precipitate protein. It can be used to determine protein concentration by quantitative precipitation. Trichloroacetic acid can also be used as a decalcifier and fixative in microscopy.
Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) with no known systemic toxicity, is used as a time-honored agent for superficial peeling. It is a peroxisome proliferator.
