Descripción

General description

A cationic, fluorescent, carbocyanine dye that can be used as a ratiometric indicator of mitochondrial potential ΔΨ_m in cells, tissues, and isolated mitochondria. It labels mitochondria with high membrane potential orange and mitochondria with low membrane potential green. Mitochondrial depolarization is indicated by a decrease in the red/green fluorescence intensity ratio. Ideal for detection of collapse of ΔΨ_m induced by uncouplers of mitochondrial respiration. The potential-sensitive color shift is due to concentration-dependent formation of red fluorescent J-aggregates. JC-1 has also been used in a functional assay of multidrug-resistance cells and in apoptosis-related mitochondrial modifications.
