Target Information

The jellyfish Aequorea victoria contains green fluorescent protein (GFP Tag) that emits light in the bioluminescence reaction of the animal. GFP is widely used as a reporter protein for gene expression in eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms and as a protein tag in cell culture and multicellular organisms.

As a fusion tag, GFP can be used to localize proteins, study their movement, or research the dynamics of subcellular compartments. GFP technology has provided new insights into the physiological activities of living cells. GFP is a 27 kDa monomeric protein that autocatalytically forms a fluorescent pigment, absorbing blue light (395 nm) and emitting green light (508 nm) without additional cofactors.

GFP fluorescence is stable and species-independent, suitable for various applications such as monitoring gene expression, protein localization, protein-protein interactions (yeast two-hybrid system), and fluorescence energy transfer (FRET) experiments.
