TagFPs: protein localization tags

- Bright monomeric proteins; excellent performance in fusions
- Wide color palette
- For research and commercial use

TagFPs group comprises proteins that are optimized for protein localization / interaction studies and stable expression in long term cultures. They can be also used for other cell labeling applications.
TagFPs demonstrate successful performance in fusions with cellular proteins and can be expressed in various heterological systems. Ranging in color from cyan to far-red, they provide unique possibilities for multicolor labeling of subcellular structures.
