Description
A mammalian-codon optimized red fluorescent protein. This protein is a significantly engineered reporter protein that, unlikely many fluorescent proteins, is monomeric and therefore ideal for fusion constructs.
Figures 1 and 2 show typical levels of mKate-mediated fluorescence following transfection of HEK-293 cells with mKate driven by the Hef1a low-level constitutive promoter.
Notes
Not applicable.
Source
This protein was codon-optimized for mammalian expression and is closely homologous to the natural green fluorescent protein derived from Aequorea victoria.
