Green fluorescent protein (GFP) is a spontaneously fluorescent protein isolated from the Pacific jellyfish, Aequorea victoria. It transduces the blue chemiluminescence into green fluorescent light. Since the molecular cloning of GFP cDNA and the demonstration that GFP can be expressed as a functional transgene, GFP has become a unique new tool with exciting applications in cell, developmental and molecular biology. GFP is an ideal fluorescent probe: its fluorescence is not species specific (it has been expressed from bacteria, yeast, plant to mammalian cells); it can fuse with proteins of interest without interfering significantly with their assembly or function.
