Press release from: MoBiTec GmbH

Reaction Mechanism of FerroFarRed

Reaction Mechanism of FerroFarRed

Intracellular Fe2+ can react with hydrogen peroxide, thereby producing the hydroxyl radical, a reactive oxygen species (ROS). Excessive ROS causes oxidative stress, resulting in cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.

FerroFarRed (also known as SiRhoNox-1 or ER-SiRhoNox) is a fluorescent probe,manufactured by Goryo Chemical, Japan, distributed in Europe by MoBiTec GmbH, Germany. FerroFarRed specifically detects labile iron (II) ions (Fe2+) and is known to react with Fe2+ only, separately from other metal ions. Upon reaction with Fe2+ it irreversibly turns into a far-red fluorescent substance. FerroFarRed mainly localizes inside the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). It can also be used with a flow cytometer equipped with a red laser.

Features of FerroFarRed:

* Target: Labile iron (Fe2+)
* Cell Permeability: Yes
* Absmax:: 646 nm
* FLmax (nm): 662 nm
* Fluorescence: Irreversible
* Cytotoxicity: FerroFarRed shows almost no cytotoxicity at concentrations of up to 100 μM (~20 times that of generally used concentrations).

Goryo Chemical is a leading manufacturer of next generation fluorescent probes and research chemicals.

FerroFarRed and all other Goryo Chemical products can be ordered from MoBiTec: http://www.mobitec.com

The Transcreener GDP GTPase assay is a homogenous, fluorescent immunoassay that monitors the activity of GTPases along with GEF and GAP partners. The assay directly measures the amount of GDP produced in an in vitro GTPase reaction. BellBrook Labs' Transcreener GDP GTPase assays are available with fluorescence polarization (FP), fluorescence intensity (FI), and far-red, time-resolved Forster-resonance-energy-transfer (TR-FRET) readouts that provide a safe, HTS-compatible alternative to cumbersome radioassay methods and are more
