MAL-PEG-Acrylate is a linear heterobifunctional PEG reagent with a maleimide and an acrylate. It is a useful crosslinking reagent with a PEG spacer. Maleimide reacts with thiol, SH, sulfhydryl or mercapto, and acrylate can polymerize under UV light or radical initiator. The product may be used to introduce thiol or cysteine-reactive functional group in crosslinked PEG hydrogel. Maleimide-PEG-Acrylamide may be offered through custom synthesis.
