Encor Mouse monoclonal antibody to GFP
Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) is a ~27 kDa protein isolated originally from the jellyfish Aequoria victoria. It is a fluorescent protein with an excitation maximum at 395 nm and emission maximum at 509 nm, so that when excited with blue or UV light, it emits green light (1). The fluorescence of GFP requires only the polypeptide chain and molecular oxygen and no other cofactors, so it can be expressed in fluorescent form in essentially any prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell. GFP has been engineered to produce a vast number of variously colored mutants including blue, cyan and yellow protein derivatives, such as BFP, CFP and YFP etc (2-4). GFP and these derivatives are widely used as fluorescent tracers in transfection and transgenic experiments to monitor gene expression and protein localization in Vivo. GFP was the basis of the 2008 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, awarded to Osamu Shimomura, Martin Chalfie and Roger Tsien, specifically “for the discovery and development of the green fluorescent protein, GFP”.
