Quin2-AM is a cell-permeable acetoxymethyl ester derivative of the calcium chelator Quin2. It is widely used as a fluorescent indicator for intracellular calcium concentration. Upon entry into cells, Quin2-AM is hydrolyzed by intracellular esterases to release the active form, Quin2, which binds to calcium ions. The binding of calcium to Quin2 causes a change in the fluorescent properties of the molecule, allowing for the measurement of intracellular calcium levels using fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry. Quin2-AM is commonly used to study calcium signaling in various cell types, including neurons, muscle cells, and immune cells. It has been instrumental in understanding the role of calcium in a wide range of cellular processes, including muscle contraction, neurotransmission, and cell signaling. The use of Quin2-AM has contributed to the development of important insights into the mechanisms of calcium homeostasis and its physiological significance.'
