An intensely fluorescent protein isolated from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria and other Aequorea species. This protein produces its fluorescence from an intrinsic chro-mophore generated by a series of steps involving residues 65-67 of the polypeptide chain. As a result, GFP has broad application, especially when expressed as a fused or chimeric protein containing a second polypeptide region whose intracellular location is of interest. ... 

The GFP from the jellyhsh Aequorea victoria is widely used a marker in gene expression. Cloning has been nsed to prodnce a strnctnrally similar red analogue 583 nm), called Ds Red, which is related to the red glowing protein in Discosoma corals. ...
