Fluorescent calcium chelator and indicator with an unusually large shift in fluorescence emission from 480 nm to 400 nm on binding of calcium. Useful for intracellular application[1][2][3]
Pulmonary veins (PVs) are the most important focus for generation of atrial fibrillation. The Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchange (NCX) current is important in PV electrical activity and cardiac glycosides-induced arrhythmias. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether KB-R7943, a NCX
Mitochondria dynamically buffer cytosolic Ca(2+) in cardiac ventricular cells and this affects the Ca(2+) load of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). In sinoatrial-node cells (SANC) the SR generates periodic local, subsarcolemmal Ca(2+) releases (LCRs) that depend upon the SR load and

The potent vasoconstrictor polypeptide endothelin-1 (ET-1) plays an important pathophysiological role in progression of cardiovascular diseases and elicits prominent effects on myocardial contractility. Although ET-1 produces a positive inotropy in cardiac muscle of most mammalian species, it induces a sustained

The aim of this study was to further characterize the reduction of myofibrillar Ca2+ sensitivity in mouse muscle which has been observed after fatigue at 37 degrees C. Muscle bundles and single fibres were isolated from mouse flexor digitorum brevis

Heat stress-induced responses change the ionic currents and calcium homeostasis. However, the molecular insights into the heat stress responses on calcium homeostasis remain unclear. The purposes of this study were to examine the mechanisms of heat stress responses on calcium
Fluorescence lifetime measurement is advantageous over intensity-based measurements. Applications include fluorescence lifetime assays, sensing and FLI.
