(2R,3R)-Butane-2,3-diol (Standard) is the analytical standard of (2R,3R)-Butane-2,3-diol (HY-W015954). This product is intended for research and analytical applications. (2R,3R)-Butane-2,3-diol is a non-covalent, reversible agonist targeting lanthanum (La3+)-sensitive calcium channels in bacteria (e.g., Escherichia coli) with an EC50 of approximately 25 mM. (2R,3R)-Butane-2,3-diol binds to calcium channel proteins or related complexes, induces channel opening, promotes extracellular calcium influx, and triggers intracellular calcium transients, which may regulate bacterial physiological activities such as growth, metabolism, and signal transduction. (2R,3R)-Butane-2,3-diol mediates bacterial-host cell signaling interactions and affects the metabolic balance of intestinal microorganisms, and can be used to study lactose intolerance and other related diseases[1].
