| Bioactivity | SERTlight is a fluorescent agent that can specifically label serotonergic neuronal cell bodies, dendrites, and axonal projections as fluorescent substrates of the serotonin transporter (SERT). SERTlight is orthogonal to various genetically encoded sensors in terms of optics, pharmacology, and operation, enabling multiple imaging. SERTlight allows the use of GRAB5HT sensors to label distal 5HT axonal projections and simultaneously image the release of endogenous 5HT, providing a new multifunctional molecular tool for studying serotonergic systems[1]. |
