Invitrogen™ Click-iT™ Lipid Peroxidation Imaging Kit - Alexa Fluor™ 488

Kit leverages copper-catalyzed click chemistry and linoleamide alkyne (LAA) reagent (alkyne-modified linoleic acid) to detect lipid peroxidation-derived protein modifications in fixed cells. Linoleic acid is most abundant polyunsaturated fatty acid found in mammals and its lipid peroxidation products likely account for majority of lipid-derived protein carbonyls.

• Optimized for detection of lipid peroxidation in cells using click chemistry and Alexa Fluor™ 488 azide
• Multiplexible and compatible with traditional fluorescence microscopy, high content screening (HCS), and flow cytometry
• Provided as a complete kit sufficient for five 96-well plates or 100 coverslips
• Form: Frozen
• Excitation Class: Visible

How It Works

• Click-iT Lipid Peroxidation Imaging Kit contains cumene hydroperoxide as ositive control for induction of lipid peroxidation and all of components for click reaction, including LAA, and Alexa Fluor™ 488 azide
• LAA can be incubated with cells, where it incorporates into cellular membranes
• Upon lipid peroxidation, LAA is oxidized and produces 9- and 13- hydroperoxy-octadecadienoic acid (HPODE)
• Hydroperoxides decompose to multiple α,β-unsaturated aldehydes, which readily modify proteins at nucleophilic side chains
• Alkyne-containing modified proteins can be subsequently detected using Click-iT chemistry and multiplexed with other probes appropriate for fixed cells

• Click-iT™ LAA (linoleamide alkyne) is stand-alone reagent provided as five pack set of single-use vials for maximum flexibility in assays for lipid peroxidation
• Reagent may be combined with variety of azide-modified detection reagents and other reagents
