AAV with CamKII(0.4) promoter driven RFP
This AAV expresses RFP driven by a neuron CamKII(0.4) promoter.
This 0.4 Kb promoter is derived from murine α-Calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase II (CaMKII), a gene with expression restricted to excitatory neurons in the neocortex and hippocampus. It was shown that the promoter activity of CaMKII(0.4) is almost identical to that of CaMKII(1.3) in cortical neurons, Compared to CaMKII(1.3), this short promoter allows cloning of longer gene of interest into the AAV construct .
RFP has an Excitation/Emission spectrum of 500nm/580nm. Other fluorescent proteins with similar spectrums include Kusabira Orange , mOrange, mOrange2, dTomato, tdTomato, DsRed, DsRed2, TurboRFP, and TagRFP.
Ready-to-use AAV expressing RFP driven by a neuron CamKII(0.4) promoter. Available in AAV1, AAV2, AAV5, AAV6, AAV8, AAV9, AAV-DJ and other serotypes.
