Calcium acetate, a white powder, is a calcium salt derived from acetic acid. It is a moderately water-soluble crystalline source of calcium that decomposes to calcium oxide when heated. It is utilized to investigate the impact of calcium on various biochemical processes, including enzyme activity, protein structure, and cell signaling. Calcium acetate is particularly relevant in the study of calcium-binding proteins, which play crucial roles in cell regulation and signal transduction. Additionally, it can serve as a preservative to inhibit microbial growth. As a Reagent ACS grade quality reagent, its chemical specifications are the de facto standards for chemicals used in many high-purity applications and typically designate the highest quality chemical available for laboratory use. ScienceLab Reagent ACS grade products meet the toughest regulatory standards for quality and purity.
