mtKeima
mtKeima is a fluorescent protein derived from the coral species Montipora sp. that is widely used in biological research and imaging techniques. It belongs to the family of fluorescent proteins that exhibit pH-dependent fluorescence, making it useful for studying cellular processes such as autophagy, protein trafficking, and pH changes within cells.
The distinctive feature of mtKeima is its ability to switch fluorescence excitation spectra based on pH, while
Annotated for use in mitochondrial studies, mtKeima can be targeted specifically to mitochondria within cells, enabling
The development of mtKeima was driven by a need for fluorescent markers capable of assessing organelle-specific
In summary, mtKeima is a specialized, pH-sensitive fluorescent protein primarily utilized in cellular and molecular biology
