| Research Abstract |
The green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene is frequently used in spatiotemporal analysis of membrane protein as a reporter gene. GFP gene is introduced into cell using vector systems to trace of a target membrane protein. However, GFP protein is composed of 238 amino acids with the molecular mass of 27kDa. In the target membrane protein with small molecular mass, GFP affects the localization of target membrane protein. It is more convenient that the molecular mass of reporter protein is smaller than that of GFP. We tried to develop to use porphyrin ring of vitamin B12 as a reporter, because porphyrin ring has small molecular mass and fluorescence
