2-NBDG [2-(N-(7-Nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl)Amino)-2-Deoxyglucose] - 5 mg

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.

• Fluorescent Detection: The 7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol (NBD) group enables easy detection of 2-NBDG under a fluorescence microscope or flow cytometer, allowing researchers to track glucose uptake in real-time.
• Cellular Glucose Uptake: This glucose analog is taken up by cells through glucose transporters, providing a direct measure of glucose uptake. It is ideal for studying metabolic diseases, cancer cell metabolism, and insulin sensitivity.
• Versatile Applications: 2-NBDG is widely used in in vitro assays, including glucose transporter activity studies, metabolic flux analysis, and screening for drugs that affect glucose uptake.

2-NBDG is a fluorescently-labeled deoxyglucose analog that is used primarily to directly monitor glucose uptake by living cells and tissues.
