Background: mCherry

mCherry is a member of the mFruits family of monomeric red fluorescent proteins. It was derived from DsRed of Discoscoma sea anemones. mFruit are second-generation monomeric red fluorescent proteins that have improved brightness and photostability compared to first-generation proteins. The gene for mCherry is 711bp long and the protein is made up of 236 residues with a mass of 76.722 kDa. mCherry is used in fluorescence microscopy as an intracellular probe where constitutive gene expression is desired and other experimental approaches require coordinated control of multiple genes.
