1,6-Diphenylhexa-1,3,5-triene (Cat No.:M120938) is a fluorescent hydrocarbon probe commonly used to study membrane dynamics, fluidity, and molecular interactions in biological membranes. Its linear, hydrophobic structure allows it to embed within lipid bilayers, where it exhibits strong fluorescence sensitive to environmental changes. DPH is widely employed in biophysical and biochemical research to assess membrane order, phase transitions, and the effects of drugs or proteins on membrane structure. Its high photostability and sensitivity make it a valuable tool for investigating cell membrane properties and lipid-protein interactions in both model and biological systems.
