Biological Activity

C12FDG is a lipophilic fluorogenic substrate used for detecting β-galactosidase activity in cells. Upon cleavage by endogenous β-galactosidase, C12FDG yields a membrane-impermeant green fluorescent product that accumulates intracellularly. This functional substrate enables sensitive fluorometric and flow cytometric quantification of lysosomal senescence-associated β-galactosidase activity, serving as a reliable biomarker to identify cellular senescence during replicative aging and stress-induced growth arrest.
