A protocol to measure lysosomal Zn2+ release through a genetically encoded Zn2+ indicator

Summary: Intracellular vesicles such as lysosomes contain micromolar to millimolar concentrations of Zn2+, and disturbing lysosomal Zn2+ homeostasis via lysosomal Zn2+ release leads to mitochondria damage and consequent lytic cell death. Methods have been developed to image cellular Zn2+ dynamics. H...
