Product Information

• Name: (6-Methoxynaphthalen-2-yl)methanol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: (6-Methoxynaphthalen-2-yl)methanol is a fluorescent probe that reacts with cytosolic proteins. When (6-methoxynaphthalen-2-yl)methanol is incubated with human liver, the rate of reaction increases in proportion to the concentration of cytosolic proteins. This probe can be used to detect changes in the activity of dehydrogenase and aldehyde oxidase enzymes, which are responsible for the metabolism of alcohols and aldehydes. The fluorescence intensity also increases when (6-methoxynaphthalen-2-yl)methanol binds to proteins due to an increase in its chromophore.
