Product Description

Sheep anti digoxigenin antibody recognizes digoxigenin, a steroid found in plants that is often attached to oligonucleotides and used as a molecular probe to detect mRNA production. Digoxin, also known as digitalis, is a purified cardiac glycoside extracted from the foxglove plant, Digitalis lanata. Its corresponding aglycone is digoxigenin, and its acetyl derivative is acetyldigoxin. Digoxin is widely used in the treatment of various heart conditions, namely atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter and sometimes heart failure that cannot be controlled by other medication. Digoxin preparations are commonly marketed under the trade names Lanoxin, Digitek, and Lanoxicaps. Digoxin is also used as an affinity system for nonradioactive labeling and detection of proteins and nucleic acids.
