Pyridinium bisretinoid A2E TFA
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Pyridinium bisretinoid A2E (A2E) TFA is a fluorophore that can be isolated from lipofuscin in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Pyridinium bisretinoid A2E TFA is an initiator of blue-light-induced apoptosis. Photoactivation of Pyridinium bisretinoid A2E TFA mediates autophagy and the production of reactive oxygen species. Pyridinium bisretinoid A2E TFA can be used in the study of retinal degenerative diseases.

Biological Activity
Exposure of Pyridinium bisretinoid A2E (A2E) to light triggers its conversion into at least two products. One of these is epoxy-A2E, which is hydrophilic and can be transferred from the membrane to an aqueous solution. The other product is an unidentified hydrophobic substance[3].
