Fluorogen Activating Peptide Technology
Fluorogen activating peptide – FAP-tags® are a new class of small genetically encoded reporters that exhibit fluorescence only in the presence of micromolar concentrations of particular nontoxic soluble fluorogens. FAP-tags® allow the user to turn the fluorescent signal on and off by adding or removing fluorogen, or to change the signal wavelength by substituting one fluorogen for another. |

GPCR Fluorogen Exchange Assays
GPCRs are an important class of proteins for therapeutic development. Spectra has a full line of tagged GPCRs and validated cell lines for GPCR Internalization, trafficking and screening. |

GFP-tagged Mouse ES Cell Lines
These embryonic stem cell lines each harbor a single tagged gene that expresses a fluorescent fusion protein that is controlled by the native regulation of the cell. The tag is placed using a novel system known as CD-tagging. This system places the DNA carrying the tag into an intron of a gene creating a new exon in the process. This exon then incorporates the tag into transcripts and ultimately into proteins. |
