BAPTA AM is a membrane-permeable form of BAPTA, a highly selective calcium chelator. After loading into a cell, BAPTA AM is converted into BAPTA by cytoplasmic esterases. It is widely used for controlling the cytosolic calcium concentration (Kd = 0.11 μM), inhibiting voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels, and other applications evaluating the role of intracellular calcium in cell signaling.
BAPTA AM can also be used as a calcium indicator since its absorption maximum changes after complexing with calcium (absorption max. of free/complexed is at 254/274 nm, emission max. of free/complexed is at 363/363 nm).
The commonly used concentration of BAPTA AM for cell signaling studies is 10-100 μM. Because AM esters have low water solubility, mild detergent (such as Pluronic® F-127) is necessary to facilitate loading into the cell.
