OFPSpark Tag Information

OFPSpark is a red (orange) fluorescent protein (excitation/emission maxima are 549 and 566 nm, respectively) derived from DsRed. Possessing high photostability and pH stability, OFPSpark is more than twice brighter than mOrange2. Fast OFPSpark maturation makes it clearly detectable in mammalian cells as early as within 8 hrs after transfection. OFPSpark can be expressed and detected in a wide range of organisms. Mammalian cells transiently transfected with OFPSpark expression vectors produce bright fluorescence in 8 hrs after transfection. No cytotoxic effects or visible protein aggregation are observed. For its monomer structure, OFPSpark performs well in some fusions and protein labeling applications.

Background Information

BACE2, also known as beta secretase 2, belongs to the peptidase A1 family. It is a protease known to be an important enzyme involved in the cellular pathways. BACE2 has been shown to interact with GGA1 and GGA2. It is the major β-secretase in vivo. BACE2 is located on chromosome 21 and may play a role in alzheimer's disease pathogenesis in down syndrome(DS). Overexpression of BACE2 by lentivirus markedly reduced amyloid β protein production in primary neurons. Despite an extra copy of the BACE2 gene in DS and the increase of its transcription, BACE2 protein levels are unchanged.
