AAV with mIP2 promoter driven mCherry

This AAV expresses mCherry driven by an islet mIP2 promoter.

This promoter is based on the 1.1 Kb regulatory region of mouse pre-proinsulin II gene, also known as ins2, ins-2, ins-II, insulin-II, or Mody4. It is commonly used for beta cell-specific gene expression in the pancreatic islet. (m)INS2 promoter is also referred as the mIP2 or mIP2 promoter.

mCherry was derived from DsRed through extensive mutagenesis. It has an Excitation/Emission spectrum of 590nm/610nm. mCherry's emission spectrum is similar to the following fluorescent markers: mRuby (Em=605nM), JRed (Em=610nM), mRFP1 (Em=607nM), and HcRed1
