Biochem/physiol Actions
C11-BODIPY581/591 is an oxidation-sensitive fluorophore whose maximal ex/em wavelengths shift from 581/591 nm (red) to 500/510 (green) upon lipid peroxidation (LPO). The probe incorporates readily into lipid membranes and is useful for detecting and quantifying LPO of cell-free lipid preparations as well as in live cells by fluorometer (fluorimeter), fluorescence confocal microscopy (dual ex at 488 & 568 nm, detection by 530/30 nm and 590/30 nm bandpass filters) and flow cytometry (ex/em 484/510 for green, ex/em 581/610 for red signal).

Here, we identify iPLA2β as a critical regulator for p53-driven ferroptosis upon reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced stress. The calcium-independent phospholipase iPLA2β is known to cleave acyl tails from the glycerol backbone of lipids and release oxidized fatty acids from phospholipids.
Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
