AM2-10 Nerve Terminal Dye

Our AM2-10 Nerve Terminal Dye is a fixable analog of SynaptoGreenTM C2, a widely used green fluorescent dye for following synaptic activity by staining synaptic vesicles at the synapse or neuromuscular junctions.

Product Specifications

Background

Nerve terminal dyes have highly hydrophilic, cationically charged head groups at one end with lipophilic tails at the other end. They are virtually non-fluorescent in aqueous solution, but become intensely fluorescent in membranes. Following nerve stimulation, the dye molecules are internalized in newly formed endocytic vesicles. During exocytosis, the dyes are released from the vesicles along with neurotransmitters, causing a decrease in fluorescence signal. As a result, the change in fluorescent intensity reflects the amount of endocytosis/exocytosis or synaptic activity. AM2-10 is a fixable analog of SynaptoGreenTM C2.
