General description

Intracellularly abundant sulfane sulfur species including persulfide (R-S-SH), polysulfide (R-S-S_n-S-R) and polysulfide (H₂S_n) play important roles to maintain intracellular reducing environments. BioTracker Green Sulfane Sulfur Live Cell Dye is a FRET-based fluorescence probe to specifically detect the intracellular sulfane sulfur species. It shows only weak fluorescence without sulfane sulfur, and reversibly fluoresces in response to micromolar concentrations of sulfane sulfur. Its reaction is highly specific and has minimal to no reactivity with H₂S, cysteine residues, and sulfur oxides. The dye is a cell permeable diacetylated form which is hydrolyzed by intracellular esterases to generate a metabolite which is retained within the cells. Thus it is suitable to monitor intracellular concentration of sulfane sulfur via live-cell imaging.Spectral Properties:Absorbance (max): 495nmEmission (max): 525nmResearch Category:Live Cell Dye
