Descripción

General description

BioTracker synaptic dyes are a series of fluorescent cationic styryl dyes developed to follow synaptic activities at neuromuscular junctions or synapses. These dyes typically have a lipophilic tail at one end and a highly hydrophilic at the other end. In the presence of cells or tissue preparations, the dyes partition between the aqueous phase, where the dyes are virtually non-fluorescent, and the outer leaflet of the cell surface membranes, where the dyes insert the lipophilic end into the membranes and become intensely fluorescent. During endocytosis following nerve stimulation, the dyes become trapped inside the vesicles. Thus, after washing off the dyes on the cell surface, the fluorescent signal is proportional to the number of newly formed vesicles. On the other hand, during exocytosis, the dyes are released from the vesicles along with neurotransmitters, causing a decrease in fluorescent signal. As a result, the change in fluorescent intensity reflects the amount of endocytosis/exocytosis or synaptic activity.

BioTracker 640 Red C2M(FM5-95) Synaptic Dye is a red fluorescent probe used to follow synaptic vesicles. The dye is slightly more water soluble than BioTracker 640 Red C2(FM4-64) Synaptic Dye.
