NOVEL MITOCHONDRIAL DYE

摘要

The present invention relates to the use of single-barrel genetically encoded GFP-based calcium indicator as an intramitochondrial dye and to nucleic acid molecules coding for said indicators, as well as to methods using said indicators. Examples of single-barrel genetically encoded GFP-based calcium indicator is a GCaMP, Case16 and/or Case12. In a particular embodiment, the single-barrel genetically encoded GFP-based calcium indicator is GCaMP2 or Case16.
