General description
Biomolecules attached to BODIPY, is readily absorbed in the visible light. It results in greater fluorescence quantum yields. It is highly photostable and less sensitive to change in polarity and pH.
Application
TOPFLUOR™Cholesterol is suitable:
- for cholesterol-uptake assay
- for BODIPY cholesterol labeling in live cell experiments
- for the formation of giant Janus liposomes via poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)-assisted lipid swelling
Biochem/physiol Actions
BODIPY labelled cholesterol has similar properties to that of the naïve cholesterol. This serves as a cholesterol marker for live cells and aids in trafficking intracellular cholesterol. It might also help in indicating lipid storage diseases.
