Calcium Sensor Products
In the mammalian nervous system, calcium is an important intracellular signaling molecule in neurons. When neurons are active, the intracellular calcium ion concentration can increase 10-100 times. Calcium indicators that are genetically encoded (GECI) are widely employed. GECI is a fluorescent protein that binds to a calcium-binding protein like calmodulin or troponin C. The top-selling genetically encoded calcium indicators are currently GCaMP, Pericams, Cameleons, TN-XXL, and Twitch. GCaMP6 is particularly useful for in vivo calcium imaging research due to its high sensitivity.
GECIs
Variant | Description |
GCaMP6 | There are three distinct subtypes of the sixth generation of GCaMP protein (GCaMP6), each with unique properties: GCaMP6s, GCaMP6m, and GCaMP6f, each with different characteristics. GCaMP6s is highly sensitive and suitable for the indication of low-frequency signals. GCaMP6f has a fast kinetic curve and the fastest dissociation, which is ideal for the indication of high-frequency signals. You need to choose according to your experimental needs. |
jGCaMP7 | The jGCaMP7 family contains four different types of proteins: jGCaMP7s has high sensitivity and is suitable for the detection of low-frequency signals; jGCaMP7f has fast kinetics and is suitable for the stronger detection of single action potential responses. jGCaMP7b has a higher background fluorescence, making it useful for identifying neural processes or nerve fibers; jGCaMP7c has the lowest background fluorescence, with a clear signal and good contrast, making it ideal for range imaging. |
XCaMP | Based on CaMKK, XCaMP is produced by mutation screening and is available in four color variants: blue (XCaMP-B), green (XCaMP-G), orange (XCaMP-O), and red (XCaMP-R). XCaMP-G has a greater fluorescence intensity than GCaMP6, and it also performs noticeably better than GCaMP6 in the calcium ion response to action potential stimulation. When XCaMP is used in a neuron-specific expression approach, the activity of three different types of neurons in a certain behavior can be monitored concurrently in a freely moving state. This XCaMP, when used in two-photon microscopy for microstructural functional imaging, allows for simultaneous two-color imaging of presynaptic and postsynaptic structures. |
CaMPARI | CaMPARI is a new calcium imaging method that considers both global and microscopic characteristics. CaMPARI can convert instantaneous neuronal activity into permanent red fluorescent protein expression, including CaMPARI and CaMPARI2. |
