BODIPY FL PI(5)P (BODIPY FL Phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate) is a water soluble analog of PI(5)P labeled with the green fluorophore, Bodipy^®-FL at the sn-1 position.

Phosphoinositides (PIPns) are minor components of cellular membranes but are integral signaling molecules for cellular communication. Phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate (PI(5)P) is a rare lipid found in the nucleus that can bind the PHD finger of the nuclear adapter protein ING2. PI(5)P is phosphorylated to PI(4,5)P2 by Type II PIP kinases.
