General description

7-Aminoactinomycin D (7-ADD), an analog of actinomycin D (AD) is a membrane-impermeable red fluorescent DNA dye. It can selectively bind GC regions of DNA. 7-ADD is used in flow cytometry to differentiate between viable, apoptotic, and late apoptotic/dead cells. This DNA stain finds its application in chromosome analysis, cell cycle studies, and quantification of apoptosis.
Chemical structure: peptide

Application

7-Aminoactinomycin D has been used:
  • for nuclei visualization in mouse tail skin
  • as a nuclear stain in imaging flow cytometry for nucleus-protein colocalization
  • in flow cytometry to determine the level of CD16 (Fc gamma III receptor) and CD32 (Fc gamma II receptor) in epidermal cells

Discover Bioactive Small Molecules for Cell Cycle Research

n proliferating cells, the cell cycle consists of four phases. Gap 1 (G1) is the interval between mitosis and DNA replication that is characterized by cell growth. Replication of DNA occurs during the synthesis (S) phase, which is followed by a second gap phase (G2) during which growth and preparation for cell division occurs. Together, these three stages comprise the interphase phase of the cell cycle. Interphase is followed by the mitotic (M) phase.

Discover Bioactive Small Molecules for Apoptosis

Apoptosis, or programmed cell death (PCD), is a selective process for the removal of unnecessary, infected or transformed cells in various biological systems. As it plays a role in the homeostasis of multicellular organisms, apoptosis is tightly regulated through two principal pathways by a number of regulatory and effector molecules.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
