BackgroundRed fluorescent proteins (RFPs) is a collective term referring to a heterogenous group of red chromophore-carrying proteins, originating from various species and forming different protein lineages.
The original RFP (dsRed) is a 225 amino acid fluorescent protein (25.9 kDa) derived from Discosoma sp.. It emits red light with a peak wavelength of 593 nm upon excitation by green light (excitation peak at 558 nm).
When fused with other proteins, RFP serves as a versatile reporter protein e.g. for quantifying expression levels or facilitates visualization of subcellular localization through fluorescence microscopy.
PABR1 is a rabbit polyclonal antibody raised against a mixture of RFP and can detect a broad range of RFPs from different species. This antibody detects dsRed-derivatives from Discosoma sp., including mCherry, mRFP, tdTomato, mPlum.
PABR1 antibody also detects representatives of different FP lineages from Entacmaea sp., such as eqFP578-derivatives including TagRFP, TagBFP, mKate2, as well as eqFP611-derivatives including mRuby2. PABR1 also detects the red fluorescent protein mScarlet, engineered from a synthetic template.
