General description

Brown adipocyte tissue (BAT) has been shown to be present in human newborns, small infants, as well as adults. Stimulation of BAT energy expenditure is considered a potential new drug target for obesity and diabetes treatments, and there is increasing interest in the discovery of novel mechanisms and substances for this purpose. However, to facilitate the development of breakthrough therapies, it is essential that techniques to measure the signature function of BAT are readily available.

The BioTracker ERthermAC thermosensitive live cell dye is a novel BODIPY-based dye that is capable of imaging heat production in individual brown adipocytes. The dye′s features such as small size, excellent cellular uptake, low cytotoxicity and robust photostability make it very biocompatible. Data obtained using this dye is comparable with that obtained by conventional methods measuring mitochondrial depolarization, oxygen consumption, and extracellular acidification rates, and with thermal power measurements obtained using the calScreener.

Spectral Properties:
  • Absorption: 565 nm
  • Emissions: 590 nm (Orange/Red) in polarized mitochondria
  • Emissions: 527 nm (Green) in depolarized mitochondria
