General description

GlucoseCy5 is a cell-permeable, Cy5-linked 1-amino-1-deoxy-β-glucose fluorescent tracer. It is used for glucose transporter (GLUT)-mediated molecular sensing and bioimaging. GlucoseCy5 demonstrates superior specificity, sensitivity, and non-toxicity over 2-NBDG. λ emission & excitation ~ 644 nm & 665 nm. Suggested optimum concentration and incubation for cellular uptake: 50 μM & 20 min.

Application

GlucoseCy5 has been used as a component in serum-free Dulbecco′s modified eagle medium (DMEM) for fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and glucose-uptake assay.

Two novel cyanine-based 1-amino-1-deoxy-β-glucose conjugates (Glu-1N-Cy3 and Glu-1N-Cy5) were designed, synthesized and their fluorescence characteristics were studied. Both Glu-1N-Cy3 and Glu-1N-Cy5 accumulate in living HT29 human colon cancer cells, which overexpress glucose transporters (GLUTs). The cellular uptake of the bioprobes
