BODIPY-Cholesterol（Cat No.:R071502）is a fluorescent cholesterol analog labeled with the BODIPY (boron-dipyrromethene) dye, designed for studying cholesterol distribution, trafficking, and metabolism in biological systems. It closely mimics natural cholesterol in its membrane incorporation and transport behavior, making it a valuable probe for live-cell imaging and lipid research. BODIPY-Cholesterol enables visualization of cholesterol dynamics in real time using fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry. Its photostability and strong fluorescence emission make it ideal for tracking cholesterol in cellular membranes, lipoproteins, and organelles involved in lipid homeostasis and cholesterol-related disorders.
