Melanoma is a serious form of skin cancer that begins in cells known as melanocytes. Melanoma is an aggressive malignancy with rapid growth and early metastasis. Tyrosinase (TYR) is a potential biomarker for the detection of melanoma because its expression level is closely related with the level of malignancy. BioTracker MB1 Tyrosinase live cell dye is a near-infrared dye that selectively reacts with TYR but not with various potential interfering agents,including inorganic salts (Na+, K+, Ca2+, and Mg2+), aminoacids (Cys, Glu, and Arg), and other biological moleculesincluding reduced GSH, BSA, glucose, hydrogen peroxide,vitamin C, lysozyme, glucose oxidase (GOD), and TYR.Spectral Properties:Excitation: 640nmEmission: 706nm (Near-infrared)Research Category:Live Cell Dye
