Biological Data

Biological description

Mitochondrial membrane potential indicator/dye which is widely used in apoptosis studies to monitor mitochondrial health.

It can be used as an indicator of mitochondrial membrane potential in various cell types including neurons and myocytes and also intact tissues and isolated mitochondria.

At low concentrations (due to low mitochondrial membrane potential), JC-1 is predominantly a monomer that yields green fluorescence with emission of 530±15 nm.

At high concentrations (due to high mitochondrial membrane potential), the dye aggregates yielding a red to orange colored emission (590±17.5 nm).

Depolarization is indicated by a decrease the aggregate fluorescent count and hyperpolarization is indicated by an increase.

Allows both qualitative visualization and quantitative detection.
