ZsYellow1 fluorescent protein

ZsYellow1 has a true yellow emission, making it ideal for multicolor applications. Like all of our Living Colors fluorescent proteins, ZsYellow1 can be detected in cells without adding cofactors or substrates, which makes it ideal for use in live cell assays. The gene for ZsYellow1 has been human codon-optimized to enhance its translation in mammalian cells, and for higher solubility, brighter emission, and rapid chromophore maturation (8–12 hours).

The ZsYellow1 fluorescent protein can be used as a molecular tag or as a reporter to visualize, track, and quantify cellular processes including protein synthesis and turnover, protein translocation, gene induction, and cell lineage. Because its excitation and emission spectra are distinct from our other fluorescent proteins, ZsYellow1 can be used for multiplex applications—that is, to simultaneously detect two or more events in the same cell or cell population. For example, it can be used in two- and three-color analyses with AmCyan1 and/or HcRed1. Like all of our Living Colors fluorescent proteins, ZsYellow1 is ideal for monitoring gene expression and protein localization in vivo, in situ, and in real time.

We also offer a polyclonal anti-ZsYellow1 antibody.

630050	Reef Coral Fluorescent Protein Vector Set	Each	USD $5658.00
A set of twelve vectors encoding novel fluorescent proteins in four colors: cyan, green, red and yellow. Four constructs are prokaryotic expression vectors that also serve as convenient sources of fluorescent protein cDNAs. In each of these prokaryotic vectors, the full-length cDNA is flanked by distinct MCSs to facilitate excision from the vector and insertion into other eukaryotic or prokaryotic expression constructs. Eight of the vectors are designed for studies in mammalian systems. These vectors allow expression of a protein of interest as a C- or N-terminal fusion to any of the four fluorescent proteins. The fusion vectors can also be used as cotransfection markers; the unmodified vectors will express fluorescent protein. Notice to purchaser Our products are to be used for Research Use Only.

632443	pZsYellow Vector	20 ug	USD $615.00
pZsYellow is a prokaryotic expression vector, which encodes Zoanthus sp. yellow fluorescent protein (ZsYellow). The ZsYellow coding sequence carried in pZsYellow retains the wild-type codon usage. In this vector, the ZsYellow gene is flanked by separate and distinct MCS regions at the 5' and 3' ends so that the ZsYellow gene can be subcloned into other expression vectors. This vector is primarily intended to serve as a convenient source of ZsYellow cDNA. Notice to purchaser Our products are to be used for Research Use Only.

pZsYellow1-C1 is a human codon-optimized expression vector that encodes a variant of the Zoanthus sp. yellow fluorescent protein, ZsYellow1, which has been engineered for brighter fluorescence and higher expression in mammalian cells. pZsYellow1-C1 allows genes cloned into the multiple cloning site (MCS) downstream of the ZsYellow1 coding sequence to be expressed as fusions to the C-terminus of the fluorescent protein. The unmodified vector will express ZsYellow1 in mammalian cells. Notice to purchaser Our products are to be used for Research Use Only.
