L-Lactate, traditionally considered a metabolic waste product, is increasingly recognized as an important intercellular energy currency in mammals. To enable investigations of the emerging roles of intercellular shuttling of L-lactate, we now report an intensiometric green fluorescent genetically encoded biosensor for extracellular L-lactate. This biosensor, designated eLACCO1.1, enables cellular resolution imaging of extracellular L-lactate in cultured mammalian cells and brain tissue.
L-乳酸,传统上被认为是一种代谢废物,现在越来越被认为是哺乳动物中一种重要的细胞间能量货币。为了能够研究细胞间 L-乳酸穿梭的新兴作用,我们现在报告了一种强度计型绿色荧光遗传编码的细胞外 L-乳酸生物传感器。这个生物传感器,被指定为 eLACCO1.1,能够在培养的哺乳动物细胞和脑组织中进行细胞分辨率的细胞外 L-乳酸成像。
