General description

Monochlorobimane is a glutathione (GSH) fluorescent cell-permeable probe. When incubated with the test cell culture, it readily enters the cells and forms a fluorescent complex. The Monochlorobimane-GSH reaction is catalyzed by glutathione-S-transferase, which is detected fluorometrically.

Monochlorobimane, also known as mBCl, is a non-fluorescent compound that forms a fluorescent complex upon reaction. The fluorescence is detected at 394/490nm.

Application

Monochlorobimane is used as a fluorescent agent in fluorometric glutathione assays. It is used to detect the principal intracellular low-molecular-weight thiols, which play a pivotal role in the defense mechanism.

Numerous herbicides and xenobiotic organic pollutants are detoxified in plants to glutathione conjugates. Following this enzyme catalyzed reaction, xenobiotic GS-conjugates are thought to be compartmentalized in the vacuole of plant cells. In the present study, evidence is presented from experiments

A rapid and facile colony assay has been developed for catalytically active enzymes in combinatorial cDNA libraries of mutated glutathione transferases (GST), expressed in Escherichia coli. The basis of the method is the conjugation of glutathione (GSH) with the fluorogenic

Reduced glutathione (GSH) protects cells against injury by oxidative stress and maintains a range of vital functions. In vitro cell cultures have been used as experimental models to study the role of GSH in chemical toxicity in mammals; however, this

Monochlorobimane was used as a model xenobiotic for Arabidopsis to directly monitor the compartmentation of glutathione-bimane conjugates in situ and to quantify degradation intermediates in vitro. Vacuolar sequestration of the conjugate was very fast and outcompeted carboxypeptidation to the gamma-glutamylcysteine-bimane

Previously we reported the purification of soluble gamma-glutamyltransferases (GGTs) from radish cotyledon. Subcellular fractionation of radish cells revealed that soluble GGT is a vacuolar enzyme. Acivicin, a GGT inhibitor, mediated the in vivo catabolism inhibition of the glutathione S-conjugate generated
