General description
N,N′-Methylenebisacrylamide is a cross linking agent that readily polymerizes with acrylamide to create cross links within the polyacrylamide gel matrix. It effectively creates a network rather than linear chains, a property that helps in maintaining the firmness of gel. N, N′-Methylenebisacrylamide is widely used in gel preparation and also as a test compound for studying the biochemical isolation of insoluble Tau protein in transgenic mouse models of tauopathy.
