    Product Description

    Farnesyl alcohol azide acts as a replacement for endogenously-produced farnesyl alcohol and becomes attached to proteins through normal biological processes in cells or animals.1 The terminal azide group can then be used in simple chemical linking reactions, known as click chemistry, to readily tag farnesylated proteins for subsequent analysis.1,2,3

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
