2-NBDG (2-(N-(7-Nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl)Amino)-2-Deoxyglucose) is a fluorescently labeled glucose analog commonly used in cellular glucose uptake studies. With its unique fluorescent properties, 2-NBDG allows for non-invasive monitoring of glucose uptake in live cells, making it an essential tool for researchers studying metabolic activity, cell signaling, and glucose transporter activity.
2-NBDG is a fluorescently-labeled deoxyglucose analog that is used primarily to directly monitor glucose uptake by living cells and tissues.
