General description

Mito Red is a cell membrane permeable rhodamine based dye. It localizes mitochondria, and emits red fluorescence. The interaction of Mito Red with mitochondria depends of the membrane potential of the mitochondria. Mitochondria can be stained with 20-200 nM of Mito Red.

Application

MitoRed (Mito Red), a vital dye and mitochondrial stain, is used to indicate the status of mitochondria under various physiological and physical conditions.

Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) cause complications such as gastrointestinal injury. NSAIDs were recently reported to cause mitochondrial injury: to dissipate the mitochondrial transmembrane potential (MTP), and to induce mitochondrial permeability transition pore (PTP), which liberates cytochrome c.
