Depositor Comments

mGFP is a membrane-bound form of GFP containing a palmitoylation sequence of GAP43 at its N-terminus.

The mGFP insert contains V163A and S175G compared to EGFP. These mutations are not known to affect plasmid function. The Cepko lab and several other Addgene users have used this plasmid successfully in experiments.
