General description
Biomolecules attached to BODIPY, is readily absorbed in the visible light. It results in greater fluorescence quantum yields. It is highly photostable and less sensitive to change in polarity and pH.
Application
TOPFLUOR™Cholesterol is suitable:
- for cholesterol-uptake assay
- for BODIPY cholesterol labeling in live cell experiments
- for the formation of giant Janus liposomes via poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)-assisted lipid swelling
Biochem/physiol Actions
BODIPY labelled cholesterol has similar properties to that of the naïve cholesterol. This serves as a cholesterol marker for live cells and aids in trafficking intracellular cholesterol. It might also help in indicating lipid storage diseases.

BMC biophysics, 5, 20-20 (2012-10-20)
Cholesterol is an important membrane component, but our knowledge about its transport in cells is sparse. Previous imaging studies using dehydroergosterol (DHE), an intrinsically fluorescent sterol from yeast, have established that vesicular and non-vesicular transport modes contribute to sterol trafficking

Traffic (Copenhagen, Denmark), 9(11), 1839-1849 (2008-07-24)
Analysis of sterol distribution and transport in living cells has been hampered by the lack of bright, photostable fluorescent sterol derivatives that closely resemble cholesterol. In this study, we employed atomistic simulations and experiments to characterize a cholesterol compound with

BMC complementary and alternative medicine, 12, 105-105 (2012-07-25)
Consumers are increasingly turning to plant-based complementary and alternative medicines to treat hypercholesterolemia. Many of these treatments are untested and their efficacy is unknown. This multitude of potential remedies necessitates a model system amenable to testing large numbers of organisms
