Invitrogen™ Low Density Lipoprotein from Human Plasma, BODIPY™ FL complex (BODIPY™ FL LDL)
Description
Human low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is large protein complex (approx. 500,000 Da) that binds to a specific receptor on the surface of vertebrate cells and delivers cholesterol via receptor-mediated endocytosis. Experiments to study LDL are typically performed by adding fluorescently labeled LDL to cultured cells and analyzing them by microscopy or flow cytometry. Alternatively the fluorescently labeled LDL can be injected into test animals, and the distribution of label can be analyzed after specified time period.
