Overview:

BFP contains tomato signal sequence and Thr-Pro synthetic glycomodule fused to EGFP (1). When it is expressed in plants, many of the repetitive proline residues are 4-hydroxylated and O-glycosylated (1). The resulting proteoglycan is secreted into the cell wall (2).

Gene Aliases:

pBI-SS(Tom)(TP)101-EGFP

Genbank Number:

DQ399412
