Invitrogen™ Alexa Fluor™ 488 Phalloidin 

Description

Phalloidin is a bicyclic peptide belonging to a family of toxins isolated from the deadly Amanita phalloides “death cap” mushroom and is commonly used in imaging applications to selectively label F-actin. Fluorescently-labeled phalloidin has several advantages over antibodies for actin labeling, including virtually identical binding properties with actin from different species of plants and animals, and low non-specific binding. Phalloidin binds F-actin with high selectivity, while Alexa Fluor 488 provides green fluorescence of unparalleled brightness and photostability.

• Selectively stains F-actin
• Outstanding fluorescence performance
• Excitation/Emission: 495/518nm
• Superior to antibody staining
• Optimal for fixed and permeabilized samples

Cell Analysis, Cell Structure, Cytoskeleton, visualize, quantitate F-actin in tissue sections, cell cultures, or cell-free preparations.
