Cells expressing a GPCR of interest that signals through calcium are pre-loaded with Rhod-4 which can cross the cell membrane. Once inside the cell, the lipophilic blocking groups of Rhod-4 are cleaved by an esterase, resulting in a negatively charged fluorescent dye that stays inside the cell. Its fluorescence is greatly enhanced upon binding to calcium. When cells are stimulated with agonists, the receptor signals the release of intracellular calcium, which significantly increases the fluorescence of Rhod-4. The characteristics of its long wavelength, high sensitivity, and \u0026gt;250 times fluorescence enhancement make Rhod-4 the brightest red calcium indicator available in the marker, and it is an ideal tool for the measurement of cellular calcium through HTS screening. Compared to Fluo-8, Rhod-4 is more photostable, making its fluorescence imaging more robust. ab112157 provides an optimized assay method for monitoring the G-protein-coupled receptors and calcium channels using HTS instrumentation. The assay can be performed in a convenient 96-well or 384-well microtiter-plate format.
