Problems solved by technology

[0005]First of all, the operation is very cumbersome. When combining calcium imaging with two-photon to observe the calcium activity in the brain of experimental animals, it is necessary to pre-process the experimental animals, such as grinding the animal’s skull, etc. To achieve better imaging results; secondly, the existing calcium imaging technology is limited by the field of view of the microscope and can only record a small area of ​​the brain
The normal operation of the nervous system is the cooperation of many different brain regions, so the study of these processes requires careful and comprehensive observation and analysis of the entire central nervous system and even the peripheral nervous system, which cannot be achieved with current calcium imaging techniques Third, since the current calcium imaging technology requires the use of a two-photon microscope, the optical path of the imaging is extremely stable and single, so researchers need to fix the experimental animals to image, and in this case the brain activity is the same as that of animals. The brain activity in the free state has great differences, and the data obtained are also inaccurate

Abstract

The invention provides micromolecular protein used for indicating calcium ions and an application of the micromolecular protein. The amino acid sequence of the micromolecular protein is shown in SEQ ID NO.1. The gene encoded micromolecular protein is named as GEM and is blended with CaM (calmodulin) and myosin light-chain kinase M13, and numerous defects in existing calcium imaging technologies can be overcome. A new calcium imaging technology which takes the whole situation and the microscopic situation into consideration and can record activity in brains of experiment animals freely moving in the true sense can be obtained with the adoption of the micromolecular protein, and the micromolecular protein has broad application prospects and huge market value.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of biology, in particular to a small molecular protein for indicating calcium ions and its application. Background technique [0002] Calcium imaging refers to the method of using calcium ion indicator to detect the concentration of calcium ion in tissue cells. In biological organisms, calcium ions generate a variety of intracellular signals that exist in almost every type of cell and play an important role in many functions, such as the control of cardiomyocyte contraction. In the nervous system of mammals, calcium ions are an important class of intracellular signaling molecules in neurons. In the resting state, the intracellular calcium ion concentration of most neurons is about 50-100nM. When the neurons are excited, the intracellular calcium ion concentration can increase by 10-100 times. The increase of calcium ion concentration is important for neurotransmitters. The release process is essential. In general, ...
