LAURDAN

Biochem/physiol Actions

1-(6-(dimethylamino)naphthalen-2-yl) dodecan-1-one or Laurdan exhibits spectral sensitivity to phospholipid phase state. It also exhibits fluorescence property. Laurdan is implicated in bilayer property studies of natural and artificial membranes due to its sensitivity to solvent relaxation effect.

General description

1-(6-(dimethylamino)naphthalen-2-yl) dodecan-1-one or Laurdan is a derivative of naphthalene and is a fluorescent membrane probe. It is present at the hydrophilic-hydrophobic interface of the lipid bilayer, wherein the lauric acid tail is attached attached in the phospholipid acyl chain area.
