Explain
Heparin is mainly used to delay blood clotting. It can enhance antithrombin mediated protease inactivation in the coagulation pathway.
Heparin sodium is a sulfated polysaccharide from the glycosaminoglycan family, which plays a crucial role in cell culture, cancer biology, and drug discovery research. Its impact on protein cell interactions makes it valuable for studying molecular and cellular processes, tumor modeling, exploring binding interactions, and as a cell culture supplement to support cell viability.

Application
Heparin sodium salt from pig intestinal mucosa has been used to purify sLRP (soluble circulating low-density lipoprotein receptor associated protein-1) from human plasma.
It has been used as a supplement in M199 medium for culturing human umbilical vein endothelial cells.
It is used as an anticoagulant in the process of blood separation.

Characteristics and advantages
High purity compounds suitable for various research applications
