Application

Sodium orthovanadate is primarily utilized as an inhibitor for a variety of phosphatases and kinases, notably serving as a broad inhibitor of tyrosine phosphatases, enzymes that remove phosphate groups from tyrosine residues. Beyond its role in biochemical applications, sodium orthovanadate is also employed as a metal precursor in various synthetic processes. It aids in the formation of Vanadium-MCM-48 (V-MCM-48) through anion-exchange, which is used as a catalyst in the oxidation of styrene to benzaldehyde. Additionally, it is instrumental in creating nanorods of vanadium oxide particles via the glycothermal method and in synthesizing yttrium vanadate (YVO4) doped with colloidal europium. This compound appears as colorless hexagonal columnar crystals, soluble in water but insoluble in ethanol, embodying diverse functionality in both biochemical and industrial contexts.
