Recombinant Discosoma striata Red Fluorescent Protein Asn6-Leu225

The Red Fluorescent Protein (RFP) from the coral Discosoma striata is a versatile bioluminescent protein known for its ability to emit red fluorescence when excited by blue light. This protein plays a crucial role in photoprotection for the coral's symbiotic microalgae, enhancing photosynthesis efficiency under variable light conditions typical near coral reefs. RFP is widely utilized in molecular biology as a fluorescent marker, facilitating the visualization of proteins in live cells and tissue. It plays an integral part in various applications including gene expression studies, protein localization, and cellular processes monitoring. Its significance in research highlights its importance to laboratory professionals working with fluorescent markers in diverse biological applications.
