SynaptoProbe® Red is an analog of FM®4-64, a widely used red fluorescent dye for studying synaptic activity in the synapses or neuromuscular junctions by staining synaptic vesicles.
This water-soluble and non-toxic to cells dye is nonfluorescent in an aqueous medium but becomes highly fluorescent after embedding into the outer leaflet of the cell membrane. When a neuron actively releases neurotransmitters, the dye becomes internalized within the recycled synaptic vesicles and stains the nerve terminals.
SynaptoProbe® Red can be used to visualize synaptic vesicles and their exocytosis and endocytosis in living neurons, identify actively firing neurons, and investigate the mechanisms of activity-dependent vesicle cycling. It is also helpful for the visualization of shear stress-induced plasma membrane damage in fibroblasts.
