Target Information

The jellyfish Aequorea victoria contains green fluorescent protein (GFP Tag) that emits light in the bioluminescence reaction of the animal. GFP has been 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, and research the dynamics of subcellular compartments. GFP technology has provided significant insights into the physiological activities of living cells.

GFP is a 27 kDa monomeric protein that autocatalytically forms a fluorescent pigment. The wild-type protein absorbs blue light (max. 395 nm) and emits green light (peak emission 508 nm) without requiring additional proteins, substrates, or cofactors. GFP fluorescence is stable, species-independent, and suitable for various applications, including monitoring gene expression, protein localization, protein–protein interactions (yeast two-hybrid), and FRET experiments.
