Product Data
Biological target:
Laurdan is a membrane-permeable fluorescent probe that displays spectral sensitivity to the phospholipid phase of the cell membrane to which it is bound.
In vitro activity:
This study seeks to gain insight into changes in the plasma membrane of live cells upon the application of osmotic stress using Laurdan, a fluorescent probe that reports on membrane organization, hydration, and dynamics. Reference: Biophys J. 2022 Jun 21;121(12):2411-2418. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35596525/
In vivo activity:
This report measured rapid fluctuations of the normalized ratio of the emission intensity at two wavelengths of Laurdan, a membrane fluorescent dye sensitive to local membrane packing. Reference: Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2012 May 8;109(19):7314-9. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22529342/
