| Application: | Dansylcadaverine in methanol has a reported λex of 335 nm and λem of 512 nm. It has been used: • as an endocytosis inhibitor in human proximal tubular HK-2 cells,(62) mouse J774A.1 macrophages and human A549 epithelial cells(63) • to label autophagic vacuoles in cardiomyocytes for fluorescence microscopy studies(64) • in monodansylcadaverine (MDC) staining of fibroblasts in Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) samples(65) |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | The autofluorescent dye dansylcadaverine, or monodansylcadaverine (MDC), is commonly used to monitor autophagy. MDC preferentially accumulates in autophagic vacuoles due to a combination of ion trapping and specific interactions with membrane lipids. |
| General description: | Dansylcadaverine, also called as monodansylcadaverine (MDC), is a lysosomotropic agent. It is present in acidic and lipid rich regions. Dansylcadaverine also acts as a solvent polarity probe. It inhibits vesicular transport and decreases the rotavirus sequestering in L cells, when pre-treated. |
| Other Notes: | Solubility of dansylcadaverine is tested in methanol (10 mg/mL). It has also been reported that dansylcadaverine is soluble in DMSO and acetic acid. |
| Packaging: | air sensitive, handled under inert gas |
| Packaging: | Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone. |
