Impact of molecular charge on GLUT-specific cellular uptake of glucose bioprobes and in vivo application of the glucose bioprobe, GB2-Cy3

Abstract

The molecular charge of fluorescent bioprobes has recently received much attention due to its influence on cellular uptake. Herein, we demonstrate the effect of the molecular charge of glucose bioprobes on their GLUT-specific cellular uptake. We also applied GB2-Cy3 to in vivo imaging in the zebrafish model.
