pGL4.81[hRlucCP/Neo] Vector Product Information

Literature # 9PIE699

The pGL4.81[hRlucCP/Neo] Vector encodes the luciferase reporter gene hRlucCP (Renilla reniformis) and is designed for high expression and reduced anomalous transcription. This vector also contains a mammalian selectable marker for neomycin resistance in which the number of transcription factor binding sites has been reduced and mammalian codon usage optimized. The pGL4 Vectors are engineered with fewer consensus regulatory sequences than the pGL3 Vectors and a synthetic reporter gene that has been codon optimized for mammalian expression.

The pGL4.81[hRlucCP/Neo] Vector is a basic vector with no promoter. However, it contains a multiple cloning region that allows cloning of a promoter of choice. The hRlucCP reporter gene contains two protein destabilization sequences, hCL1 and hPEST. The protein encoded by hRlucCP responds more quickly and with greater magnitude to changes in transcriptional activity than the hRluc gene, its more stable counterpart.
