A cell-permeable fluorescent cholesterol analog for studying sterol uptake, intracellular cholesterol trafficking and inter-organelle sterol transport.
Energybiopharma BODIPY-Cholesterol (ENG-BDP080) combines a cholesterol-derived structure with a fluorescent BODIPY group. This lipophilic probe enables researchers to monitor sterol uptake and investigate cholesterol distribution in cellular models.
With reported excitation and emission wavelengths of 505/515 nm, it supports fluorescence-based studies of intracellular sterol movement and transport between organelles. Experimental loading conditions should be optimized for the selected cell type.
