Resorufin Acetate is a pink fluorescent substrate for hydrolytic enzymes such as cytosolic aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH1A1) esterase and chymotrypsin. Upon enzymatic cleavage, the resorufin anion emits red fluorescence (ex/em maxima = 571/585 nm, respectively) used to quantify enzyme activity.

Fluorogenic substrate for hydrolytical enzymes

Resorufin Acetate is a related compound of Resorufin (R146500), a pink fluorescent dye that is not fluorescent until activated by UV light. Resorufin is an anionic tricyclic dye.
