Orange and yellow fluorescent proteins

Our orange fluorescent protein, mOrange2, is an extremely bright monomer ideal for use as a tag or reporter. Fruit fluorescent proteins such as mBanana have performed well in numerous fusion applications, whereas ZsYellow1 is ideal for multicolor applications because of its true yellow color.

The jellyfish protein that lit up a world of new discoveries

How did a humble jellyfish launch a life science research revolution? It all started when researchers including Osamu Shimomura, Martin Chalfie, and Roger Tsien developed methods to utilize green fluorescent protein (GFP) as a glowing biological reporter in living cells. First commercialized by Clontech Laboratories (now Takara Bio USA, Inc.), GFP has illuminated countless scientific explorations and shed light on many previously dark secrets of biology. That’s Good Science!
