Silicon-rhodamine functionalized evocalcet probes (EvoSiR) potently and selectively label calcium sensing receptors (CaSR) in vitro, in vivo and ex vivo

D. Batora, J. P. Fischer, R. M. Kaderli, M. Varga, M. Lochner, J. Gertsch

This paper develops fluorescent probes EvoSiR4 and EvoSiR6 that potently and specifically label CaSR in vitro, in vivo, and ex vivo, outperforming evocalcet and its linker conjugate.
