MTT
3-(4,5-Dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium Bromide, Thiazole Blue
Membrane-permeable yellow dye that is reduced by mitochondrial reductases in living cells to form the dark blue product, MTT-formazan. Spectrophotometric measurement of MTT-formazan at 540 or 570 nm allows quantitation of cell viability. Used as a direct indicator of cytotoxicity (such as for screening cancer drugs) and apoptosis. An electron acceptor used for studying NADP-dependent dehydrogenases.
