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.

Cholesterol is an important membrane component, but our knowledge about its transport in cells is sparse. Previous imaging studies using dehydroergosterol (DHE), an intrinsically fluorescent sterol from yeast, have established that vesicular and non-vesicular transport modes contribute to sterol trafficking

Studies have shown a negative association between cellular cholesterol efflux and coronary artery disease (CAD). Standard protocol for quantitating cholesterol efflux involves labeling cells with [(3)H]cholesterol and measuring release of the labeled sterol. Using [(3)H]cholesterol is not ideal for the

Analysis of sterol distribution and transport in living cells has been hampered by the lack of bright, photostable fluorescent sterol derivatives that closely resemble cholesterol. In this study, we employed atomistic simulations and experiments to characterize a cholesterol compound with

Intraluminal vesicles of multivesicular endosomes are either sorted for cargo degradation into lysosomes or secreted as exosomes into the extracellular milieu. The mechanisms underlying the sorting of membrane into the different populations of intraluminal vesicles are unknown. Here, we find
