RHOD-2, AM

Description:
RHOD-2, AM is a cell-permeable fluorescent dye commonly used as a calcium indicator in biological research. It is a derivative of rhodamine and is designed to detect changes in intracellular calcium levels, which are crucial for various cellular processes. The "AM" designation indicates that it is an acetoxymethyl ester, allowing it to easily penetrate cell membranes. Once inside the cell, esterases hydrolyze the AM group, converting it into a more polar form that cannot easily exit the cell, thus trapping the dye inside. RHOD-2 exhibits a strong fluorescence upon binding to calcium ions, making it useful for real-time imaging of calcium dynamics in live cells. Its spectral properties allow for compatibility with various fluorescence microscopy techniques. Additionally, it is important to handle RHOD-2, AM with care, as with all chemical substances, ensuring proper storage and disposal according to safety guidelines. Overall, RHOD-2, AM is a valuable tool in cell biology for studying calcium signaling pathways.
