摘要
Green fluorescent protein (GFP) and mutated GFP variants have proved to be immensely powerful tools that have had a profound impact on research in biological sciences. This review considers the development, use and future implications of pH-dependent GFP variants (e.g. pHluorins). These proteins hold considerable promise for the relatively non-invasive monitoring of events such as exocytosis, endocytosis and protein surface expression in living neurons with high spatial and temporal resolution.
