    Abstract

    Nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP), like the other major messengers for Ca2+ mobilization, is passively membrane-impermeant. Instead, a cell-permeant acetoxymethyl ester derivative of NAADP (NAADP-AM) can be synthesized as described here and used to study NAADP-mediated Ca2+ release.
