Bioactivity | Dansylcadaverine (Monodansyl cadaverine) is an autofluorescent compound used for the labeling of autophagic vacuoles. Dansylcadaverine, a high affinity substrate of transglutaminases, can block the receptor-mediated endocytosis of many ligands[1][2]. |
Invitro | The inhibitory activity of dansylcadaverine reflects its ability to serve as a substrate for transglutaminases and to block competitively the crosslinking of fibrin molecules[2].Dansylcadaverine, a cationic fluorescent probe binds to bacterial lipopolysaccharide and lipid A, and is displaced competitively by other compounds which possess affinity toward endotoxins[3]. |
