Green Fluorescent Protein
Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) is a protein found in certain marine organisms that produce light. It is a powerful tool used in biotechnology and medicine to detect, study, and mark molecules of interest inside cells. GFP is also used to visualize and track the paths of various cellular processes, such as cell division, death, and trafficking of proteins. By adding GFP to cells, researchers can monitor the movement and location of molecules and better understand biological pathways. GFP also has applications in preclinical research and drug development, providing insight into the effects of new treatments on cells or tissues.
