Description:
GCaMP is a
genetically encoded calcium indicator (GECI) and created from a fusion of green
fluorescent protein (GFP), calmodulin (CaM), and M13, a peptide sequence from
myosin light chain kinase. When GECI binds
Ca2+, the conformational change of GCaMP induces proximity of the GFP parts,
eliciting strong GFP fluorescence signal, which allows measuring action
potentials and other receptor activation events that trigger Ca2+ influx. The
advantage of GECI's are that they can be genetically specified for studies in
living organisms.
GCaMP6
is a novel ultra-sensitive format of GCaMP that outperformed other sensors in
terms of accuracy and sensitivity in measuring cytosol Ca2+ level. Mutations in
calmodulin part of GCaMP6 created several variants which showed different
calcium fluorescence decay rate (fast - GCamP6f, slow - GCaMP6s and medium -
GCaMP6m).
This AAV9-CAG-GCaMP6s
is a pre-packaged rAAV in serotype
9 (with capsid from AAV serotype 9 and 2xITR
from AAV serotype 2) which over-expresses genetically encoded calcium
indicator GCaMP6s under CAG promoter (also known as CBA promoter).
