Description
A stable precursor to the fluorescent ALDH substrate BAAA; converted under acidic conditions to BAAA, which is cell-permeant and is converted intracellularly to BAA, which can be used to identify cells with high ALDH activity; co-application of BAAA with a P-gp inhibitor inhibits efflux of BAA; has been used to isolate human hematopoietic progenitor cells and via flow cytometry to sort cancer stem cells that contain high levels of ALDH; can be excited at 488 nm and displays and emission maximum of 512 nm
