Clone Host Grade Applications Monoclonal Mouse Ascites E B

Aequorin is a photoprotein originally characterized in the luminescent jellyfish Aequorea victoria. The jellyfish is capable of producing flashes of blue light, which in turn is transduced to green by the famous green fluorescent protein. The intracellular signal used to elicit this flash in vivo is an increase in intracellular calcium. As the dynamic range of calcium signaling concentrations in jellyfish is very similar to those in plants and animals generally (5-50nM), this means that aequorin is a useful calcium indicator. Aequorin was first used by direct extraction from jellyfish and microinjection, but over the last decade, recombinant aequorin has become available, and it has also been used as a transgene, originally in plants.
