Available variants and fusions

Humanized TurboRFP	TurboRFP codon usage is optimized for high expression in mammalian cells [Haas et al., 1996], but it can be successfully expressed in many other heterological systems.	pTurboRFP-C	FP231
		pTurboRFP-N	FP232
		pTurboRFP-B	FP233
		pTurboRFP-PRL	FP235
TurboRFP-mito fusion	A mitochondrial targeting sequence (MTS) is fused to the TurboRFP N-terminus. MTS was derived from the subunit VIII of human cytochrome C oxidase [Rizzuto et al., 1989; Rizzuto et al., 1995]. When expressed in mammalian cells, this variant provides red (orange) fluorescent labeling of mitochondria.	pTurboRFP-mito	FP237
