Glycerophospholipids

The phospholipid, rhodamine DHPE is labeled on the head group with the red-fluorescent rhodamine B fluorophore with excitation/emission maxima ∼560/580 nm.

BODIPY™ DHPE has the green-fluorescent dye attached to the head group of the phospholipid. BODIPY™ FL can form excimers at high concentrations and unlike fluorophores like pyrene, DPH and NBD, BODIPY™ FL is relatively environment insensitive and is fluorescent in both aqueous and lipid environments.

The phospholipid, fluorescein DHPE is labeled on the head group with the green-fluorescent pH-sensitive fluorophore, fluorescein (excitation/emission maxima ∼496/519 nm).

The intensely fluorescent BODIPY® (4,4-difluoro-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene) fluorophore is intrinsically lipophilic, unlikemost other long-wavelength dyes. Consequently, probes incorporating this fluorophore are more likely to mimic the properties of natural lipids.

The phospholipid, Oregon Green® 488 DHPE is labeled on the head group with the green-fluorescent Oregon Green® fluorophore with excitation/emission maxima ∼501/526 nm. This fluorinated analog of fluorescein overcomes some of the key limitations of fluorescein, including greater photostability and a...

The phospholipid, NBD-PE is labeled on the head group with the environment sensitive fluorophore, NBD (excitation/emission maxima ∼463/536 nm). Prepare stock solutions of phosphoethanolamines in ethanol to attain a stock concentration of 1 to 2 mg/mL. Sonication may be necessary to aid dispersion.

The phospholipid, Marina Blue™ DHPE is labeled on the head group with the blue-fluorescent Marina Blue™ fluorophore with excitation/emission maxima ∼365/460 nm.

Molecular Probes™ phospholipase substrates are dye labeled phospholipids used to monitor phospholipase A (PLA) activity in purified enzyme preparations, cell lysates, and living cells. Two structural variations of these substrates are available, which confer specificity for PLA1 and PLA2.

The phospholipid, Texas Red™ 1,2-dihexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine, triethylammonium salt (Texas Red™ DHPE) is labeled on the head group with the bright, red-fluorescent Texas Red™ dye (excitation/emission maxima ∼595/615 nm).
