Product Information

• Name: Benzo[k]fluoranthene
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Benzo[k]fluoranthene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon that is used as an optical sensor for transcriptional regulation. It has been shown to activate the transcription factor NF-κB, which induces expression of inflammatory genes in cells. Benzo[k]fluoranthene can be used to measure changes in gene expression and protein levels. The antibody response to benzo[k]fluoranthene was studied using a kinetic data analysis method. Benzo[k]fluoranthene has also been shown to induce genotoxic effects in liver cells and human hepatoma cell line HepG2. This compound also causes light emission when it is excited with light, which can be measured with synchronous fluorescence.
