BODIPY-Cholesterol [878557-19-8]

Biological Activity

BODIPY-cholesterol is an intrinsically lipophilic, and cell-permeable analog of cholesterol with a fluorescent BODIPY group. BODIPY-cholesterol can be used to monitor sterol uptake and inter-organelle sterol flux in cells. (Excitation/Emission: 480/508 nm).
