BDP BODIPY FL Ceramide (CAS: 2730893-01-1) is a synthetic fluorescent lipid. It combines the bright green BDP FL fluorophore with sphingosine, mimicking natural ceramides. Ceramides, which are made of sphingosine and a fatty acid, are key precursors of sphingolipids. Inside cells, BDP FL Ceramide integrates into the Golgi apparatus membranes. As a result, it is widely used to visualize the Golgi in living and fixed cells with fluorescence microscopy.
Key Features:
- Fluorophore: BDP FL (green fluorescence).
- Excitation: 503 nm
- Emission: 512 nm
- Target: Incorporates into Golgi apparatus membranes.
Key Applications:
- Golgi Visualization: Highlights the Golgi for fluorescence microscopy.
- Lipid Metabolism: Tracks ceramide dynamics in cell studies.
- Membrane Studies: Observes ceramide behavior in cell membranes.
- Live-Cell Imaging: Provides bright, stable fluorescence for real-time cell imaging.
This dye is ideal for studying lipid processes and visualizing the Golgi apparatus in cell biology.
