    Product Description

    Fluo-2 AM is a cell-permeable fluorescent calcium indicator.1,2 It has been used to measure the activity of the neuropeptide Y4 receptor, as well as to detect intracellular calcium in tetrandine-stimulated primary rabbit corpus cavernosum smooth muscle cells. It binds to calcium (Kd = 290 nM) and displays excitation/emission maxima of 490/515 nm, respectively. Fluo-2 AM is also available in a cell-impermeable form (Item No. 35764).

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
