FM4-64

SKU: orb1704023

Description

FM4-64 (SynaptoRed C2) is a styryl membrane dye that becomes fluorescent upon insertion into lipid bilayers. As it is not cell-permeant, its uptake relies on endocytosis, making it a vital tool for visualizing membrane trafficking, endocytosis, and exocytosis in both live-cell (in vitro) and whole-organism (in vivo) studies.
