Line name: Xla.Tg(cryga:mCherry;CMV:6xMyc-EosFP)NXR
Synonyms: CMV:EosFP
EXRC line: #124
Non-standard MTA required: No
Transgene description: EosFP is a photoactivatable green to red fluorescent protein. Its green fluorescence (516 nm) switches to red (581 nm) upon UV irradiation of ~390 nm (violet/blue light) due to a photo-induced modification resulting from a break in the peptide backbone near the chromophore.[1] Eos was first discovered as a tetrameric protein in the stony coral Lobophyllia hemprichii[2].
Phenotype: Like other fluorescent proteins, Eos allows for applications such as the tracking of fusion proteins, multicolour labelling and tracking of cell movement.[3] Several variants of Eos have been engineered for use in specific study systems including mEos2, mEos4 and CaMPARI.
