pmOrange2-C1 Vector
pmOrange2-C1 Vector
pmOrange2-C1 is a Living Colors fluorescent protein mammalian expression vector designed to express a protein of interest fused to the C-terminus of mOrange2, a variant of mOrange which has been modified for improved stability. mOrange2 is derived from the tetrameric Discosoma sp. red fluorescent protein, DsRed. The unmodified vector can be used to express mOrange2 in mammalian cells.
Overview
- Bright orange fluorescent protein monomers ideal for reporter studies
- mOrange2 excitation and emission maxima are 549 and 565 nm, respectively
- Can be detected on a Western blot using our mCherry antibody
Applications
- Fusions
- Tracking cell, organelle, and protein movement
- Bright reporter for mammalian cells
