pDsRed-Express2-1 encodes DsRed-Express2, a variant of Discosoma sp. red fluorescent protein. pDsRed-Express2-1 is a promoterless vector that can be used to monitor transcription from different promoters and promoter/enhancer combinations inserted into the multiple cloning site (MCS) upstream of the promoterless DsRed-Express2 gene. Without the addition of a functional promoter, this vector will not express DsRed-Express2.
