Epitope tags are useful for the labeling and detection of proteins using$nimmunoblotting, immunoprecipitation and immunostaining techniques. Due to their small size, they are unlikely to affect the tagged protein's biochemical properties. The Myc epitope tag is widely used to detect expression of recombinant proteins in bacteria, yeast,insect and mammalian cell systems.$nThe c-Myc protein is a transcription factor, which is encoded by the c-Myc gene on human chromosome 8q24. c-Myc is common

Enhanced Blue Fluorescent Protein (EBFP) emits a strong blue fluorescence. EBFP can be used as protein “tags“ to study the sub-cellular localization of proteins and/or their translocation upon stimulation or as markers for transfection in transient and stable expression systems.

mCherry is a fluorophore (a fluorescent molecule) used in biotechnology as a tracer to follow the flow of fluids, as a marker when tagged to molecules and cells components. mCherry is a monomeric fluorescent construct with peak absorption/emission at 587 nm and 610 nm, respectively. It is resistant to photobleaching and is stable. mCherry is sometimes preferred to other fluorophores due to its colour, as well as its photostability compared to other monomeric fluorophores.

CBP tag is a calmodulin-binding peptide, KRRWKKNFIAVSAANRFKKISSSGAL, derived from skeletal/cardiac muscle myosin light chain kinase 2.

AviTag, a peptide allowing biotinylation by the enzyme BirA and so the protein can be isolated by streptavidin (GLNDIFEAQKIEWHE)
