General description

mCherry, red fluorescent protein, is derived from DsRed, a red fluorescent protein from disc corals of Discosoma species. DsRed is similar in size and other properties to GFP, but it produces a red rather than a green fluorescence. mCherry is a monomeric form that has been engineered with multiple cycles of mutation, directed modification and evolutionary selection. It exhibits excitation maximum at 587 nm and an emission maximum at 610 nm with a fluorescent quantum yield of 0.22. mCherry displays high photostability and resistant to photobleaching. It also displays improved brightness and extremely rapid maturation rate. Anti-mCherry, polyclonal is an affinity purified antibody that recognizes mCherry in HEK293 cells transfected with pFin-EF1-mCherry. (Ref.: Schaner, NC et al. (2004). Nat. Biotechnol. 22(12):1567-72; Gross, LA et al. (2000). Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 97(22):11990-95).
