Cellular Fatty Acid (C16) Uptake Assay Kit

Cayman's Cellular Fatty Acid (C16) Uptake Assay Kit is a convenient tool for studying cellular uptake of the fatty acid palmitate. This kit employs BODIPY-palmitate, a fluorescently tagged palmitic acid, as a probe for monitoring the uptake of fatty acid into live cells. This kit can be used to screen inhibitors of fatty acid uptake and includes lipofermata, a potent inhibitor of FATP2, as an inhibitor control. This kit includes validated protocols for kinetic uptake, endpoint uptake, and fluorescence imaging and provides enough BODIPY-palmitate for 100 tests in a 96-well format.
