Quantity: 300 tests
Unit Size: Each
Phalloidin is a peptide toxin isolated from the Amanita phalloides mushroom. Phalloidin selectively binds F-actin and functions to stabilize actin polymers by inhibiting the dissociation of actin monomers from the filament ends. Because F-actin polymers compose the cytoskeleton of almost all eukaryotic cells, phalloidin conjugates can be useful probes for visualizing the structure of live or fixed cells using microscopy.
• Phalloidin eFluor™ 660 is supplied as a lyophilized solid
• To prepare the 1000X stock solution, the material should be mixed with 30μL high-quality anhydrous DMSO
• The resulting phalloidin DMSO stock should be aliquoted, protected from light and moisture, and stored at −20°C
• To prepare a 1X working solution of phalloidin conjugate, add 1μL of 1000X phalloidin DMSO stock solution to 1mL of PBS containing 1% BSA
