Laurdan ≥97% (by HPLC)
Supplier: ADIPOGEN CORP MS
Synonyms:
6-Dodecanoyl-2-dimethylaminonaphthalene, 1-(6-(Dimethylamino)naphthalen-2-yl)dodecan-1-one, 1-[6-(dimethylamino)-2-naphthalenyl]-1-dodecanone, N,N-Dimethyl-6-dodecanoyl-2-naphthylamine
N,N-Dimethyl-6-dodecanoyl-2-naphthylamine (Laurdan) is used as an environmentally sensitive probe for the labeling of plasma membranes.
The lauroyl-sidechain integrates into the hydrophobic core of biological membranes, the polar fluorescent moiety is at level of the glycerol-backbone. Dipolar relaxation processes of the naphtylamine-moiety with neighboring polar molecules lead to wavelength-shifts of the emission-spectra. The physical state of the membrane and effects of temperature, cholesterol or ethanol on various membrane-systems have been monitored.
