Product Specific Information

Reconstitute the lyophilized powder with deionized water (or equivalent) to an antibody concentration of 0.5 mg/ml.

Well-characterizated antibodies against short-sequence epitope tags are common in the study of protein expression in systems. RFP-tags are composed of 15-residue peptides, VNGHEFEIEGEGEGR, derived from amino acids 22-36 of red fluorescent protein (RFP) from the Discosoma sea anemone.

Target Information

Red fluorescent protein (TagRFP) derived from Entacmaea quadricolor eqFP611 (Uniprot ID: Q8ISF8) is an important tool in biotechnology and cell biology as a spectrally distinct companion or substitute for the green fluorescent protein (GFP; from Aequorea jellyfish). Pigment protein. The emission does not change over the pH range of 4 to 10. Maturation occurs via a green intermediate and is complete within 12 hours. Recombinant expression at high temperatures induces oligomerization. Abs(max)=559 nm. Exhibits a smaller absorbance peak at 525 nm. Has a strong fluorescence emission spectrum which peaks at 611 nm.
