Mitochondria Research
Mitochondria, which have important functions in cells, are not only a place for ATP production by oxidative phosphorylation, but their activity and dysfunction are closely related to cancer, senescence, and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. Therefore, understanding the state of mitochondria is particularly important.

Priciple
|
Mtphagy Dye (included in Mitophagy Detection Kit) is a pH-sensitive fluorescent probe that accumulates in mitochondria and emits red fluorescence due to acidic conditions in a lysosome.
|
A pH-sensitive ratiometric fluorescent protein. The excitation spectrum changes according to pH. This protein shows high fluorescence ratio (Ex. 550 nm/440 nm) values in a lysosome.

Mitochondrial Membrane Potential
Target
|
MMitochondrial Membrane Potential
|
Reagent
|
MT-1
|
JC-1
|
Priciple
|
Cell-permeant fluorescent dyes accumulate in intact mitochondria due to the membrane potential. MT-1 is extremely photostable and more sensitive than JC-1 and can provide equivalent detection sensitivity to TMRE.
|
A cell-permeant ratiometric fluorescent dye that accumulates in intact mitochondria due to the membrane potential. JC-1 forms aggregate (in healthy mitochondria) with red fluorescence.
As membrane potential decreases, JC-1 becomes monomers, which shows in green fluorescence.
