2-NBDG is a fluorescent tracer used for monitoring glucose uptake into living cells; it consists of a glucosamine molecule substituted with a 7-nitrobenzofurazan fluorophore at its amine group. It is widely referred to a fluorescent derivative of glucose,[1] and it is used in cell biology to visualize uptake of glucose by cells.[2] Cells that have taken up the compound fluoresce green.
2-NBDG is similar to radiolabeled glucose in that both can be used to detect glucose transport. Unlike radiolabeled glucose, 2-NBDG is compatible with fluorescence techniques such as a fluorescent microscopy, flow cytometry, and fluorimetry.[2]
The compound is taken up by a variety of mammalian, plant, and microbial cells[2][3][4] In bacterial cells, the predominant transporter is the mannose phosphotransferase system.[4] Cells that lack these or other compatible transporters do not take up 2-NBDG.[4][5] In mammalian cells, one transporter for 2-NBDG is GLUT2.[6] In T cells, 2-NBDG was transported by another, unidentified transporter and it did not match radiolabeled glucose transport.[7]
Like glucose, 2-NBDG is transported according to Michaelis–Menten kinetics. However, transport of 2-NBDG has a lower Vmax (maximum rate), and thus the rate of transport is generally slower than glucose.[4]
Once taken up, the compound is metabolized to a non-fluorescent derivative, as shown in Escherichia coli.[8] The identity and further metabolism of this non-fluorescent derivative has not been established.
