+ | Green fluorescent protein (GFP) is a bioluminescent polypeptide isolated from the jellyfish ''Aequorea victoria''. GFP converts the blue chemiluminescence of aequorin into green fluorescent light. In the laboratory, GFP can be incorporated into a variety of biological systems in order to function as a marker protein. Since its discovery in 1962, GFP has become a significant contributor to the research of monitoring gene expression, localization, mobility, traffic, or interactions between various membrane and cytoplasmic proteins. | ||
