Description: | Andy Fluor??488?Annexin V is Annexin V conjugated with our?green fluorescent dye Andy Fluor? 488. Annexin V is a calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding proteins, which bind to phosphatidylserine (PS) to identify apoptotic cells. In normal viable cells, PS is located on the cytoplasmic surface of the cell membrane. In apoptotic cells, however, PS is translocated from the inner to the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane, making itself available for Annexin V binding. Andy Fluor??488 is a superior alternative to the traditional?green fluorescent dye?FITC (or fluorescein) owing to its exceptional brightness and photostability. Andy Fluor??488 has brightness and photostability comparable to Alexa Fluor? 488. |
