CatPure(TM) Cy5 mCherry mRNA

Cy5 mCherry encodes for mCherry protein, serving as a positive control for mRNA transfection. This product is used to screen and validate delivery systems. Cy5 fluorescence tracks location of mRNA. Protein function: Thought to play a role in photoprotection of the coral's resident symbiont microalgae's photosystems from photoinhibition caused by high light levels found near the surface of coral reefs. In deeper water, the fluorescence may be to convert blue light into longer wavelengths more suitable for use in photosynthesis by the microalgal symbionts. [The UniProt Consortium]
