True-red fluorescent protein TurboFP602

- Bright true-red fluorescence
- Fast maturation
- High pH stability
- Optimized for common filter sets
- Recommended for gene expression analysis and cell labeling in autofluorescent environment

Performance and use

TurboFP602 can be expressed and detected in a wide range of organisms. Mammalian cells transiently transfected with TurboFP602 expression vectors give bright fluorescent signals within 8-12 hrs after transfection. No cell toxic effects and visible protein aggregation are observed.

Despite its dimeric structure, TurboFP602 demonstrates successful performance in fusions with subcellular localization signals and many cellular proteins. However, we recommend that you use specially optimized protein localization TagFPs to select a reporter for such purposes.

TurboFP602 suitability to generate stably transfected cells has been proven by Marinpharm company. Cell lines expressing TurboFP602 are commercially available.

TurboFP602 can be used in multicolor labeling applications with cyan, green, yellow, and red (orange) fluorescent dyes.
