| Bioactivity | RGD-PEG-Cy3 is a fluorescent labeling reagent that combines Cy3 fluorescent dye, peptide (RGD) and polyethylene glycol (PEG). The Cy3 fluorophore is commonly used in applications such as immunolabeling, nucleic acid labeling, fluorescence microscopy, and flow cytometry. Cy3 has an emission maximum around 562-570 nm. RGD is a peptide sequence (CRGDKGPDCiRGD) that binds to αvβ3 and αvβ5 integrin receptors on tumor neovasculogenesis to achieve specific tumor tissue targeting[1]. |
