Kindling red fluorescent protein KFP-Red
- Photoactivatable red fluorescent protein
- Kindled by green laser that does not damage cells and tissues
- Can be kindled reversibly or irreversibly
- Recommended for tracking cell and cellular organelle movement
 | KFP-Red (also referred to as KFP1 in our scientific publications [Chudakov et al., 2003a; Chudakov et al., 2003b]) is a photoactivatable GFP-like protein generated by site-directed and random mutagenesis of Anemonia sulcata chromoprotein, asFP595 [Lukyanov et al., 2000]. KFP-Red switches from a non-fluorescent to a red fluorescent form (with excitation maximum at 580 nm and emission maximum at 600 nm) under the exposure to intense-green-light irradiation. A green light laser does not damage cells and tissues. Activated KFP-Red can be easily detected because its emission spectrum is beyond the region of cell autofluorescence.
KFP-Red can be used for in vivo monitoring cell and cellular organelle movement. |
