Product Description: Ammonium chloride, for molecular biology is ammonium chloride that can be used for molecular biology research. Ammonium chloride can be used as a heteropolar compound to regulate pH value, which can cause intracellular alkalination and metabolic acidosis, thus affecting the activity of enzymes and affecting the process of biological systems. Ammonium chloride is an autophagy inhibitor. Ammonium chloride is also a lysosome inhibitor[1][2][3].
