Resorufin acetate | 1152-14-3 | sc-208300 | 25 mg | $194.00 | ||
Resorufin acetate serves as a fluorescent probe, demonstrating unique interactions with aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) through its electrophilic nature. The compound undergoes hydrolysis, releasing resorufin, which exhibits a distinct red fluorescence. This transformation is influenced by the enzyme's active site, promoting specific binding and catalysis. The reaction kinetics reveal a notable sensitivity to pH and temperature, affecting the rate of conversion and fluorescence intensity, thereby providing insights into enzyme activity and cellular metabolism. |
