Diaminofluorescein –2 Diacetate (DAF-2DA) is a non-fluorescent cell permeable reagent that can measure free Nitric Oxide (NO) and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity in living cells under physiological conditions. Once inside the cell the diacetate groups on the DFA-2DA reagent arehydrolyzed by cytosolic esterases thus releasing FAD-2 and sequestering the reagent inside the cell. Production of nitric oxide converts the non-fluorescent dye, DAF-2, to its fluorescent triaole derivative, DAF-2T.
DAF-2T can be observed by: excitation 488nm and measuring emission at 515nm.
Fig. 1. DAF-2DA, the non-fluorescent probe, enters the cells where cytosolic esterases hydrolysis the diacetate groups, releasing the non-fluorescent DAF-2 dye. DAF-2 then reacts with NO and O2 to produce DAF-2T, its triazole fluorescent derivative.
