Abstract excerpt
The sarco/endoplasmic reticulum (SR/ER) is the foremost intercellular Ca2+ store (at submillimolar concentrations), playing a crucial role in controlling intracellular Ca2+ levels. For the investigation of SR/ER Ca2+ dynamics in cells, fluorescent protein-based genetically encoded calcium indicators (GECIs) with low Ca2+ affinity have been used. Recently, bioluminescent protein-based GECIs with high brightness...
