Biochem/physiol Actions

FFN511 is a fluorescent substrate for the synaptic vesicle monoamine transporters. FFN511 is used as an optical tracer of dopamine, a fluorescent false neurotransmitter (FFN) to visualize dopamine release from individual presynaptic terminals using time-lapse microscopsy fluorescence. The probe is sufficiently fluorescent so as to provide resolution of individual dopamine terminals at concentrations that do not interfere with normal catecholamine accumulation and transmission. FFN511 is compatible with GFPbased tags, the FM1-43 endocytic marker (Synapto Green), and other optical probes.
