Application

TOPFLUOR^®Cholesterol is suitable:for cholesterol-uptake assayfor BODIPY cholesterol labeling in live cell experimentsfor the formation of giant Janus liposomes via poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)-assisted lipid swelling

Biochem/physiol Actions

BODIPY labelled cholesterol has similar properties to that of the naïve cholesterol. This serves as a cholesterol marker for live cells and aids in trafficking intracellular cholesterol. It might also help in indicating lipid storage diseases.

General description

Biomolecules attached to BODIPY, is readily absorbed in the visible light. It results in greater fluorescence quantum yields. It is highly photostable and less sensitive to change in polarity and pH.
