| Abstract: | Ca2+ is an universal second messenger in numerous cell physiological processes. Aequorin, a bioluminescent calcium-binding protein is used today as a cellular probe to measure and image variations in calcium concentrations. The paper describes the characteristics and the use of aequorin as a luminescent calcium probe, and the future in the use of this protein for calcium imaging. |
