Handling Advice
Please remember to spin the tubes briefly prior to opening them to avoid any losses that might occur from material adhering to the cap or sides of the tube
Storage
-20 °C
Storage Comment

Target
mCherry
(mCherry Fluorescent Protein)
Alternative Name
mCherry
Background
MCherry is derived from DsRed, a red fluorescent protein from so-called disc corals of the genus Discosoma. DsRed is a 223 amino acid ~28 kDa protein similar in size and properties to GFP, hoever it produces a red rather than a green fluorochrome. mCherry in its monomeric form is useful for applications such as Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET, also known as Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer). The protein is an engineered derivative of one of a family of proteins originally isolated from Cnidarians (jelly fish, sea anemones and corals).
