SynaptoRedTM C2 (FM4-64) is a membrane-selective red fluorescent dye and a highly lipophilic water-soluble styrene dye that can specifically bind to cell membranes and inner membrane organelles to produce fluorescence[1]. SynaptoRedTM C2 acts as a marker of endocytic and exocytic membrane structures and has also been used to track synaptic activity by staining synaptic vesicles at synapses or neuromuscular junctions. SynaptoRedTM C2 can also be used to stain bacteria (Gram-positive or Gram-negative) and yeast, but is rapidly internalized into the tonoplast in yeast[2].
