      DescriptionAnti-GFP (Green Fluorescent Protein) Antibody
      Alternate Names
      • Green fluorescent protein
      Background InformationGreen fluorescent protein (GFP) is a 29 kDa fluorescent protein isolated from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria. Upon exposure to blue light (488 nm), GFP strongly fluoresces (Emission max: 507 nm). GFP can be fused to proteins without significantly interfering with their assembly and function, making GFP a powerful tool for monitoring gene expression and protein localization in living cells.

      UniProt Number
      UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: Energy-transfer acceptor. Its role is to transduce the blue chemiluminescence of the protein aequorin into green fluorescent light by energy transfer. Fluoresces in vivo upon receiving energy from the Ca(2+)-activated photoprotein aequorin.
      BIOPHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES:
      Absorption: Abs(max)=395 nm;
      Note=Exhibits a smaller absorbance peak at 470 nm. The fluorescence emission spectrum peaks at 509 nm with a shoulder at 540 nm;
      SUBUNIT: Monomer.
      TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Photocytes.
      PTM: Contains a chromophore consisting of modified amino acid residues. The chromophore is formed by autocatalytic backbone condensation between Ser-65 and Gly-67, and oxidation of Tyr-66 to didehydrotyrosine. Maturation of the chromophore requires nothing other than molecular oxygen.
      BIOTECHNOLOGY: Green fluorescent protein has been engineered to produce a vast number of variously colored mutants, fusion proteins, and biosensors. Fluorescent proteins and its mutated allelic forms, blue, cyan and yellow have become a useful and ubiquitous tool for making chimeric proteins, where they function as a fluorescent protein tag. Typically they tolerate N- and C-terminal fusion to a broad variety of proteins. They have been expressed in most known cell types and are used as a noninvasive fluorescent marker in living cells and organisms. They enable a wide range of applications where they have functioned as a cell lineage tracer, reporter of gene expression, or as a measure of protein-protein interactions.
      BIOTECHNOLOGY: Can also be used as a molecular thermometer, allowing accurate temperature measurements in fluids. The measurement process relies on the detection of the blinking of GFP using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy.
      SIMILARITY: Belongs to the GFP family.
      Molecular Weight30 kDa
      Product Usage Statements
      Quality AssuranceRoutinely evaluated by Western Blot on rat brain lysate containing purified GFP (Catalog #14-392) or a GFP-fusion protein from a transfected E. coli cell lysate.

      Western Blot Analysis:
      0.5-2 μg/mL of this lot detected Green Fluorescent Protein from 50 μg of rat brain lysate containing 25 ng of purified Green Fluorescent Protein (Catalog # 14-392). A previous lot of this antibody also detected a GFP-fusion protein from a transfected E. coli cell lysate.
      Usage Statement
      • Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals.
      Storage and Shipping Information
      Storage ConditionsStable for 1 year at -20°C from date of receipt.
      Handling Recommendations: Upon receipt, and prior to removing the cap, centrifuge the vial and gently mix the solution. Aliquot into microcentrifuge tubes and store at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles, which may damage IgG and affect product performance. Note: Variability in freezer temperatures below -20°C may cause glycerolcontaining solutions to become frozen during storage.
