Description
Isopropyl β-D-Thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) is a molecular biology reagent used to induce gene expression in bacterial systems. It mimics lactose, binding to the lac repressor protein, leading to gene activation. IPTG is crucial for studying gene regulation, protein expression, and recombinant protein production, providing valuable insights into cellular and molecular biology research.
