    Product Description

    Lifeact-mTurquoise2 probe mRNA (Cap-1; m1Ψ) encodes a fusion protein composed of a Lifeact peptide, which selectively binds to actin fibers, and mTurquoise2, a cyan fluorescent protein that displays excitation and emission maxima of 434 and 474 nm, respectively.1 It is capped using a co-transcriptional capping method, resulting in the naturally occurring Cap-1 structure with high capping efficiency. Lifeact-mTurquoise2 probe mRNA is also polyadenylated and modified with N1-methylpseudouridine (m1Ψ) to reduce the host cell immune response and enhance mRNA stability. It can be used in the study of actin structure and function in live cells. Encapsulation of Lifeact-mTurquoise2 probe mRNA (Cap-1; m1Ψ) in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) can be used for mRNA delivery and expression of Lifeact-mTurquoise2.
