Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

SMCC, also known as succinimidyl-4-[N-maleimidomethyl]cyclohexane-1-carboxylate, is a heterobifunctional protein crosslinker. SMCC is an amine-to-sulfhydryl crosslinker that contains NHS-ester and maleimide reactive groups at opposite ends of a medium-length cyclohexane-stabilized spacer arm (8.3 angstroms). SMCC conjugation occurs via a maleimide group that is sulfhydryl (thiol; -SH) reactive and a NHS ester group that is amine reactive and forms stable, covalent protein crosslinks.

More Info
SMCC crosslinker must be dissolved in an organic solvent, such as DMSO or DMF, and then can be added to an aqueous crosslinking reaction. SMCC crosslinking reagent is permeable across the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane and can be used to crosslink intracellular proteins and peptides. Features of SMCC: • Reactive groups: NHS ester and maleimide • Reactive toward: amino and sulfhydryl groups • Non-cleavable • Water-insoluble (dissolve first in DMF or DMSO); compare to Sulfo-SMCC • High purity, crystalline reagent can be used to create high-purity maleimide-activated derivatives • Cyclohexane bridge confers added stability to the maleimide group making SMCC an ideal crosslinking agent for maleimide activation of proteins. Maleimide groups are stable for 64 hours in 0.1 M sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7 at 4°C. Succinimidyl-4-(N-maleimidomethyl)cyclohexane-1-carboxylate (SMCC) is a non-cleavable and membrane permeable crosslinker. It contains an amine-reactive N -hydroxysuccinimide (NHS ester) and a sulfhydryl-reactive maleimide group. NHS esters react with primary amines at pH 7-9 to form stable amide bonds. Maleimides react with sulfhydryl groups at pH 6.5-7.5 to form stable thioether bonds. The maleimide groups of SMCC and Sulfo-SMCC and are unusually stable up to pH 7.5 because of the cyclohexane bridge in the spacer arm. Applications: • Enzyme labelling of antibodies - both enzyme and antibody specificity can be preserved • Create specific bioconjugates via one- or two-step crosslinking reactions • Create sulfhydryl-reactive, maleimide-activated carrier proteins for coupling haptens
