pDsRed2-Mito encodes a fusion of Discosoma sp. red fluorescent protein (DsRed2) and a mitochondrial targeting sequence of human cytochrome c oxidase subunit VIII (Mito). The targeting sequence is fused to the 5′-end of DsRed2, which is human codon-optimized for high expression in mammalian cells. pDsRed2-Mito is designed for fluorescent labeling of mitochondria.
