mCherry circRNA

mCherry circular RNA (circRNA) encodes mCherry, a red fluorescent protein and derivative of Discosoma red fluorescent protein (DsRed) that displays excitation/emission maxima of 587/610 nm, respectively.¹ Exogenous circRNAs have increased stability and can produce sustained protein expression compared to mRNA.² mCherry circRNA can be used for gene expression, cell labeling in vitro, and imaging in animal models.
