MW 353.68 Da, Purity >98%. Novel, pH responsive fluorescent false neurotransmitter (FFN). Rodent DAT and VMAT2 substrate. Enables two-photon microscopic imaging of localization and activity of dopaminergic presynaptic terminals in the striatum of mouse acute brain slice. More selective for dopaminergic synapses than FFN511 (ab120331).
Exhibits greater fluorescence emission in neutral than acidic environments allowing optical measurement of synaptic vesicle content release.
Sufficiently bright, photostable and suitable for two-photon fluorescence microscopy and standard fluorescent microscopy. Compatible with GFP tags.
