Description
This part codes for orange fluorescent protein (OFP). Fluorescent proteins are useful tools for visualizing and quantifying protein expression in cells. OFP is yet another fluorescent protein, like GFP, that can be utilized as a reporter.
Notes
This part was codon-optimized for expression in E. coli. The following restriction enzyme sites were also removed: EcoRI, NotI, XbaI, SpeI, PstI, NheI, AvrII, ApoI, MfeI, NsiI, SbfI.
Source
OFP was cloned from the tentacles of Cerianthus sp., a tube anemone. The original sequence was obtained from GenBank (VERSION AY296063.1, GI:31616578).
