Description
Description: Annexins are a family of proteins that bind to phospholipid membranes in the presence of calcium. Annexin V is a valuable tool for studying cell apoptosis. It is used as a probe to detect cells which have expressed phosphatidylserine on the cell surface, a feature found in apoptosis as well as other forms of cell death. There are a variety of parameters that can be used for monitoring cell viability. Annexin V-dye conjugates are widely used to monitor cell apoptosis through measuring the translocation of phosphatidylserine (PS). In apoptosis, PS is transferred to the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane. The appearance of phosphatidylserine on the cell surface is a universal indicator of the initial/intermediate stages of cell apoptosis and can be detected before morphological changes can be observed. This Annexin V conjugate has the spectral properties Ex/Em = ~500/570 nm. The green fluorescent stain is well excited with the Blue Laser at 488 nm, and emits intense orange fluorescence at ~570 nm. Its emission is much stronger than those of Annexin V-Cy3 with 488 nm excitation.
