Green fluorescent protein (GFP) is a 27kD protein which is derived from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria. GFP fluoresces green (509nm) when excited by blue light (395nm) and is commonly used as a marker of gene expression.
Applications
Suitable for use in Immunofluorescence, ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilutions
