Product Description

Alpha-bungarotoxin is a polypeptide snake toxin that binds to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor found at the neuromuscular junction with high affinity. Fluorescent alpha-bungarotoxin can be used for labeling of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors at neuromuscular junctions in tissue sections. Alpha-bungarotoxin may also be used for detection of GABA A receptor subsets in cells (1), or for labeling recombinant proteins that express the alpha-bungarotoxin binding site (BBS) epitope tag (2).

  • Choose from 9 bright and stable CF® Dye colors or other labels
  • Dye options for super-resolution and 2-photon imaging

We also offer Biotin-XX-alpha-bungarotoxin (catalog. no. 00017), and unconjugated alpha-bungarotoxin.(catalog no. 00010-1). See our complete selection of alpha-Bungarotoxins below.

Superior CF® Dyes

Biotium’s next-generation CF® dyes were designed to be highly water-soluble with advantages in brightness and photostability compared to Alexa Fluor®, DyLight®, and other fluorescent dyes. Learn more about CF® Dyes.

Note: Conjugates of blue-fluorescent dyes like CF®350, CF®405S and CF®405M are not recommended for detecting low abundance targets and may be challenging to use in tissue specimens. Blue dyes have lower fluorescence and photostability, and cells and tissue have high autofluorescence in blue wavelengths, resulting in lower signal to noise compared to other colors.

Super-Resolution Microscopy

Many CF® Dyes are compatible with super resolution imaging, CF® Dyes give the best performance for multiple methods. The superior brightness, photostability, and photochemical switching properties of certain CF® Dyes are ideal for 3-D SIM, 3-D STORM, and other super-resolution and single-molecule imaging approaches. Learn more about CF® Dyes for super-resolution microscopy.
