MeSH Heading: Green Fluorescent Proteins
Tree Number(s): D12.776.532.265
Unique ID: D049452
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D049452
Scope Note: Protein analogs and derivatives of the Aequorea victoria green fluorescent protein that emit light (FLUORESCENCE) when excited with ULTRAVIOLET RAYS. They are used in REPORTER GENES in doing GENETIC TECHNIQUES. Numerous mutants have been made to emit other colors or be sensitive to pH.
