Methoxyresorufin

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

Methoxyresorufin is a fluorescent dye compound used in laboratory settings as a substrate for the detection and quantification of cytochrome P450 enzymes, particularly CYP1A. It is a selective and sensitive probe for these enzymes, which play a crucial role in the metabolism of various substances. Methoxyresorufin can be used in a variety of analytical techniques, such as fluorescence-based assays, to measure the activity of CYP1A enzymes in various biological samples.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
