| Target | Red fluorescent proteins (RFPs) is a collective term referring to a heterogenous group of red chromophore-carrying proteins, originating from various species and forming different protein lineages. The original RFP (dsRed) is a 225 amino acid fluorescent protein (25.9 kDa) derived from Discosoma sp.. It emits red light with a peak wavelength of 593 nm upon excitation by green light (excitation peak at 558 nm). When fused with other proteins, RFP serves as a versatile reporter protein e.g. for quantifying expression levels or facilitates visualization of subcellular localization through fluorescence microscopy. This antibody is a mouse (IgG2c) monoclonal antibody raised against RFP, reactive to a variety of RFP derivates, including mOrange, OFP, DsRed, mCherry, mRFP, mRFPRuby, mScarlet, mScarlet-I, tdTomato, and mPlum. |
