mCherry

mCherry is a genetically engineered fluorescent protein used in biological research. When introduced into cells, it glows bright red under specific light, allowing scientists to track and visualize cellular processes, proteins, or gene expression. Derived from a natural protein found in coral, mCherry is valued for its stability, brightness, and ability to be fused with other proteins without disrupting their functions. This makes it a powerful tool for studying live cells, understanding disease mechanisms, and testing new therapies. Its clear red fluorescence provides a distinct visual marker in complex biological experiments.
