TAPS

Overview

TAPS is an aminosulfonate-based lysozyme stabilizer and connexin channel inhibitor. TAPS maintains the native structure of lysozyme in aqueous solution at pH 7.0 and significantly protects it from heat-induced denaturation. TAPS directly inhibits the activity of heteromeric connexin 32/connexin 26 channels ( Cx32/Cx26 ) via its protonated form, and this inhibitory effect is dependent on the presence of connexin 26. TAPS reduces connexin channel-mediated solute exchange in a recombinant liposome system, resulting in a decreased degree of liposome density shift in transport-specific separation assays. TAPS is a critical compound for investigating the structure and function of connexin channels.
