L-Leucyl-L-Leucine methyl ester hydrobromide

Catalog Number:

I am investigating how lysosomal damage affects cholesterol transport in lysosomes. I utilize LLoMe because it effectively permeabilizes lysosomes and induces controlled damage to the lysosomal membrane.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

Induce lysosomal membrane damage

Starting Material

Live cells

Tips

Use at 0.5 to 2 mM dose, for 1 hour treatment.

Results Summary

I observed the formation of Galectin3 puncta on the lysosomal membrane, which is consistent with lysosomal membrane damage induced by LLoMe. This pattern of Gal3 recruitment supports that LLoMe treatment successfully triggered lysosomal permeabilization in my system.

Summary

The Good

Cheap, and low side effects.

The Bad

None.

The Bottom Line

I observed Gal3 puncta on the lysosomal membrane, confirming LLoMe-induced lysosomal damage.
