Product description

Rapid staining of single actin filaments with highly photostable 594-Phalloidin.

Phalloidin is a bicyclic peptide of a family of toxins isolated from the Amanita

phalloides “death cap” mushroom. The peptide is commonly used as a selective

stain or counterstain to specifically label F-actin in fixed or permeabilized cells, and

cell-free experiments. Labeled phalloidin conjugates bind in a stoichiometric ratio of

about one phallotoxin per actin subunit in both muscle and non-muscle cells, and

have similar affinity for both large and small filaments. Phalloidins do not bind to

monomeric actin and have a stabilizing effect on F-actin.

594-Phalloidin has a strong orange-red fluorescence of high brightness and superior

photostability.
