BD Pharmingen™ Green FP Vector - Golgi is a mammalian expression vector that encodes a fusion of the green fluorescent protein (FP) from
Aequorea coerulescens with the first 81 N-terminal amino acids of the human beta1,4-galactosyltransferase. The membrane-anchoring signal
peptide sequence from the human beta 1,4-galactosyltransferase is fused to the 5’-end of green FP. In order to increase the translation
efficiency in mammalian cells, a Kozak consensus translation initiation site has been introduced to the 5’-end of the green FP open reading
frame, and its sequence has been optimized with human codons. The green FP fusion is expressed under the control of the immediate early
promoter of cytomegalovirus (P CMV ie), and its sequence is followed by downstream simian virus 40 (SV40) polyadenylation signals. The
vector contains a neomycin resistance gene controlled by the SV40 promoter (P SV40 e) that allows selection of stably transfected eukaryotic
cells using G418. An additional bacterial (Kan R) promoter drives the expression of the same gene encoding for kanamycin resistance in E. coli.
