mBanana fluorescent protein

mBanana yellow fluorescent protein vectors

mBanana is a fruit fluorescent protein which was developed in Dr. Roger Tsien’s lab (Shaner et al, 2004; Wang et al, 2004; Shu et al, 2006) by directed mutagenesis of mRFP1, a monomeric mutant of DsRed (Campbell et al, 2002). Fruit fluorescent proteins such as mBanana have demonstrated stable expression and perform successfully in numerous fusion applications. We offer monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies to detect mBanana.

The DsRed-Monomer, DsRed Express, E2-Crimson and the Fruit Fluorescent Proteins are covered by one or more of the following U.S. Patents: 7,250,298; 7,671,185; 7,910,714; 8,664,471 and 8,679,749.

pmBanana encodes mBanana, a mutant derived from the tetrameric Discosoma sp. red fluorescent protein, DsRed. In this vector, the mBanana coding sequence is flanked by MCS regions, making it easy to excise the gene for use in other cloning applications. pmBanana is primarily intended to serve as a source of mBanana cDNA.
