Dsred rab5

Manufactured by Addgene

DsRed-Rab5 is a fluorescent protein construct that consists of the DsRed protein fused to the Rab5 protein. Rab5 is a small GTPase that regulates early endosome fusion and trafficking. The DsRed fluorescent protein provides a red fluorescent signal that can be used to visualize the localization and dynamics of Rab5 within cells.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
