The Newport Green™ DCF indicator has moderate zinc-binding affinity (Kd for Zn2+ ~1 µM) but is essentially insensitive to Ca2+ (Kd for Ca2+ >100 µM), making this a valuable probe for detecting Zn2+ influx into neurons through voltage- or glutamate-gated channels. When used alongside dyes with dual Ca2+ / Zn2+ sensitivity such as fura-2 and mag-fura-2, Newport Green™ DCF provides confirmation that changes in Zn2+ levels, and not Ca2+ or Mg2+, are being detected. The response of Newport Green™ DCF to transition metals, including Zn, Mn, Fe, Co, Cu(I), Cu(II), Ni and Cd, has been characterized.
Newport Green™ PDX has a higher Zn2+ dissociation constant (Kd for Zn2+ ~30 µM) and a larger Zn2+-free to Zn2+-saturated fluorescence intensity increase than the Newport Green™ DCF indicators.
Fluorescent Zinc Indicators Specifications:
