18:1 Cyanine 5 Cardiolipin
1,1',2,2'-tetraoleoyl cardiolipin-N-(Cyanine 5) (ammonium salt)
18:1 Cyanine 5 Cardiolipin is the fluorescent variation of the compound 1,1',2,2'-Tetraoleoyl Cardiolipin.
Cardiolipin is an acidic lipoprotein, which was first discovered in animal hearts, where the name originates. It is the main phospholipid constituent of the inner mitochondrial membrane.
1,1',2,2'-Tetraoleoyl Cardiolipin is a derivative of cardiolipin in which all four of the phosphatidyl acyl groups are substituted by oleoyl groups.
When labeled with Cyanine 5, 1,1',2,2'-Tetraoleoyl Cardiolipin forms 18:1 Cyanine 5 Cardiolipin. Cyanine 5 is an environmentally-safe far-red fluorophore. It’s one of the most often used oligonucleotide fluorescent moieties in techniques such as fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), PCR, and FRET.
Avanti’s fluorescent lipid compound, 18:1 Cyanine 5 Cardiolipin (1,1',2,2'-Tetraoleoyl Cardiolipin) is a promising tool for a wide array of analyses on lipid dynamics.
