Di-4-ANEPPDHQ

Description

Di-4-ANEPPDHQ is a polarity-sensitive membrane probe with a doubly positive charge that can be used to visualize membrane microdomains in living Arabidopsis cells. Di-4-ANEPPDHQ produces a fluorescence spectrum shift by changing the polarity of the lipid environment after embedding into the cell membrane, thereby quantifying the degree of lipid accumulation. The excitation wavelength of Di-4-ANEPPDHQ is 488 nm, and the emission wavelengths are 560 nm and 650 nm in the liquid ordered and disordered phases, respectively. Di-4-ANEPPDHQ is often used for fluorescence imaging studies of membrane microstructure, lipid order, and membrane tension response in living cells 1 2 3 .
