About: Fura-2

An Entity of Type: chemical substance, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Fura-2, an aminopolycarboxylic acid, is a ratiometric fluorescent dye which binds to free intracellular calcium. It was the first widely used dye for calcium imaging, and remains very popular. Fura-2 is excited at 340 nm and 380 nm of light, and the ratio of the emissions at those wavelengths is directly related to the amount of intracellular calcium. Regardless of the presence of calcium, Fura-2 emits at 510 nm of light. The use of the ratio automatically cancels out confounding variables, such as variable dye concentration and cell thickness, making Fura-2 one of the most appreciated tools to quantify calcium levels. The high photon yield of fura-2 allowed the first real time (video rate) measurements of calcium inside living cells in 1986. More recently, genetically-encoded calcium indi

dbo:abstract
  • Fura-2 ist ein Fluoreszenzfarbstoff, der mit Calcium-Kationen (Ca2+) Chelatkomplexe bildet und zur Bestimmung von intrazellulären Calcium-Konzentration eingesetzt wird. Fura-2 ist als Pentakalium- oder als Pentanatriumsalz erhältlich. Mit dem Fura-2AM (Fura-2-Acetoxymethylester) ist auch ein membrangängiges Derivat bekannt. (de)

The high photon yield of fura-2 allowed the first real time (video rate) measurements of calcium inside living cells in 1986. More recently, genetically-encoded calcium indicators based on spectral variants of the green fluorescent protein, such as Cameleons, have supplemented the use of Fura-2 and other small molecule dyes for calcium imaging, but Fura-2 remains faster.
