イソプロピル-β-チオガラクトピラノシド(Isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside)は、分子生物学で使用される試薬の一つである。通常は略してIPTGと呼ばれる。
この化合物はアロラクトースの類似体として用いられ、ラクトースオペロンの転写を誘導する。アロラクトースとは異なり、生体内では硫黄原子の部分で分解されないため、ラクトースオペロンは常に誘導された状態となる。
IPTGはラクトースリプレッサーに結合してその働きを阻害し、ラクトースを分解するβ-ガラクトシダーゼの発現を誘導する。クローニングにおいては、lacZ遺伝子の部分に目的の遺伝子が導入され、IPTGはその遺伝子の発現を誘導することになる。
ラクトースオペロンを用いた組み換えタンパク質の発現ではさまざまな調節機構が関与しているが、IPTGは100μMから1.5mMの濃度範囲で優れた誘導物質となり得る。

Isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG, also known as lad-y) is a molecular biology reagent. This compound is a molecular mimic of allolactose, a lactose metabolite that triggers transcription of the lac operon, and it is therefore used to induce protein expression where the gene is under the control of the lac operator.
IPTG, unlike allolactose, is not hydrolyzable by β-galactosidase. Therefore, its concentration remains constant during an experiment. For induction, a sterile, filtered 1 M solution of IPTG is typically added by 1:1000 dilution into a logarithmically growing bacterial culture, to give a final concentration of 1 mM. However, different concentrations of IPTG may also be used.
Like allolactose, IPTG binds to the lac repressor and releases the tetrameric repressor from the lac operator in an allosteric manner, thereby allowing the transcription of genes in the lac operon, such as the gene coding for beta-galactosidase, a hydrolase enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of β-galactosides into monosaccharides. But unlike allolactose, the sulfur (S) atom creates a chemical bond which is non-hydrolyzable by the cell, preventing the cell from metabolizing or degrading the inducer. The concentration of IPTG therefore remains constant and the expression of lac p/o-controlled genes would not be inhibited during the experiment.[citation needed]
IPTG uptake by E. coli can be independent of the action of lactose permease, since other transport pathways are also involved.[1] At low concentration, IPTG enters cells through lactose permease, but at high concentrations (typically used for protein induction), IPTG can enter the cells independently of lactose permease.[2]
IPTG is an effective inducer of protein expression in the concentration range of 100 μM to 1.0 mM. Concentration used depends on the strength of induction required, as well as the genotype of cells or plasmid used. If lacIq, a mutant that over-produces the lac repressor, is present, then a higher concentration of IPTG may be necessary.[3]
In blue-white screen, IPTG is used together with X-gal. Blue-white screen allows colonies that have been transformed with the recombinant plasmid rather than a non-recombinant one to be identified in cloning experiments.[citation needed]
