Invitrogen™ Newport Green™ DCF Diacetate, cell permeant

Has moderate zinc-binding affinity (K_d for Zn²⁺ approximately 1μM) but is essentially insensitive to Ca²⁺

Supplier:  Invitrogen™ N7991

Catalog No. N7991

Description

• Kd for Ca²⁺ >100μM), making this valuable probe for detecting Zn²⁺ influx into neurons through voltage- or glutamate-gated channels
• When used alongside dyes with dual Ca²⁺ / Zn²⁺ sensitivity such as fura-2 and mag-fura-2, provides confirmation that changes in Zn²⁺ levels, and not Ca²⁺ or Mg²⁺ are being detected
• The response to transition metals, including Zn, Mn, Fe, Co, Cu(I), Cu(II), Ni and Cd, has been characterized
• Label (Ex/Em): Newport Green DCF (approximately 505/535nm)
• K_d (Zn²⁺) (in buffer): approximately 1μM
• Lyophilized product may be dissolved in DMSO for use
• Product is typically loaded into cells by adding dissolved indicator to medium containing cells
