General Description

  • Dextran is a glucose polymer biosynthesized by the non-pathogenic Leuconostoc mesenteroides

Application

  • Dextran is a complex branched glucan that can be used to enhance electronegativity and reduce erythrocyte aggregation and platelet adhesiveness (anticoagulant activity)
  • This compound promotes the activation of plasminogen by inhibiting α-2 antiplasmin
  • Dextran can be used to reduce thrombosis in animal models
  • It is used in osmotic stress techniques where osmotic pressure is applied to biological molecules
  • Dextran can be used as an immobilization agent in biosensors
