General description

Monochlorobimane is a glutathione (GSH) fluorescent cell-permeable probe. When incubated with the test cell culture, it readily enters the cells and forms a fluorescent complex. The Monochlorobimane-GSH reaction is catalyzed by glutathione-S-transferase, which is detected fluorometrically.

Monochlorobimane, also known as mBCl, is a non-fluorescent compound that forms a fluorescent complex upon reaction. The fluorescence is detected at 394/490nm.

Application

Monochlorobimane is used as a fluorescent agent in fluorometric glutathione assays. It is used to detect the principal intracellular low-molecular-weight thiols, which play a pivotal role in the defense mechanism.

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.

Glutathione S-transferases (GST) catalyzing the conjugation of reduced glutathione to a vast range of xenobiotics including insecticides were characterized in the whitefly Bemisia tabaci. GST activities were determined in susceptible and resistant strains of B. tabaci towards artificial substrates, i.e.

Monochlorobimane (MCB) is often used to visualize glutathione (GSH) levels in cultured cells, since it is quickly converted to a fluorescent GSH conjugate (GS-MCB). To test for consequences of MCB application on the GSH metabolism of astrocytes, we have studied
