Octylglucoside is a nonionic, mild detergent used to isolate membrane proteins in the native state. It can easily be removed during final extractions by dialysis.
Characteristics that contribute to this detergent’s usefulness are its water solubility, chemical structure and small-sized micelles.
Octylglucoside also provides higher resolution of proteins in 2D electrophoresis.
