Whole-mount Senescence-Associated Beta-Galactosidase (SA-β-GAL) Activity Detection Protocol for Adult Zebrafish
1 Jan 2022
Abstract excerpt
Senescence-associated beta-galactosidase (SA-β-GAL) is an enzyme that accumulates in the lysosomes of senescent cells, where it hydrolyses β-galactosides. With p16, it represents a well-recognized biomarker used to assess senescence both in vivo and in cell culture. The use of a chromogenic substrate, such as 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indoyl-β-d-galactopyranoside (X-Gal), allows the detection of SA-β-GAL activity at pH...
