Understanding of calcium signaling pathways in cells is essential for elucidating the mechanisms of both normal cell function and cancer development. Calcium messengers play the crucial role for intracellular Ca(2+) release. We propose a new approach to detecting the calcium second messenger nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) in cell extracts using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). Currently available radioreceptor binding and enzymatic assays require extensive sample preparation and take more than 12 h. With a SERS sensor, NAADP can be detected in less than 1 min without any special sample preparation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of using SERS for calcium signaling applications.
