Description
TMRM ( tetramethylrhodamine methyl ester) is an extrinsic fluorophore and can be used as a probe to determine changes in mitochondrial membrane potential. TMRM is a lipophilic cations that is accumulated by mitochondria in proportion to ΞΟmt. Upon accumulation of the dye it exhibits a red shift in its absorption and fluorescence emission spectrum. The fluorescence intensity is quenched when the dye is accumulated by mitochondria.
