High-Performance Genetically Encoded Sensor for Intracellular ATP

iATPSnFR2 is a circularly permuted GFP-based ATP sensor engineered for rapid, high-sensitivity detection of ATP levels in living cells. With ratiometric readout options and subcellular targeting flexibility, it's ideal for neuroscience, cell biology, and metabolism research, and drug screening.

  • High Signal: ΔF/F ~12, optimized for live-cell imaging
  • Tunable Affinity: Three variants have ATP Kd values of 4 µM, 16 µM, and 500 µM
  • Optional Ratiometric Output: HaloTag, mIRFP, and mCherry fusion options for normalization
  • Fast Response: Fluorescence changes complete in <2 sec
  • Subcellular Precision: Reveals ATP consumption in cytosol, mitochondria, or single synaptic boutons
