Biological description
Chelates calcium and other di-and trivalent metal ions. Food additive used as a sequestrant. Dietary sodium gluconate protects rats from large bowel cancer by stimulating apoptosis through enhanced butyrate production. Antitumorigenic effect may involve the regulation of the retinoid signaling pathway by butyrate in a retinoid-independent manner.
