Determination of membrane protein transporter oligomerization in native tissue using spatial fluorescence intensity fluctuation analysis.

Membrane transporter proteins exist in a complex dynamic equilibrium between various oligomeric states that include monomers, dimers, dimer of dimers and higher order oligomers. Given their sub-optical microscopic resolution size, the oligomerization state of membrane transporters is difficult to qu...
