AF 488 HTag is a highly specific fluorescent ligand designed for the covalent and irreversible labeling of HaloTag® fusion proteins in live cells, cell lysates, and fixed samples.

The HaloTag® system is based on a genetically engineered bacterial haloalkane dehalogenase that forms a covalent bond with synthetic chloroalkane ligands, making it specific and rapid. AF 488 HTag conjugate contains a chloroalkane anchor linked to a bright AF 488 fluorophore. When added to cells or samples expressing a HaloTag® fusion protein, the substrate permeates the membrane and permanently binds to the target protein. The complete absence of cross-reactivity with endogenous mammalian proteins guarantees an exceptional signal-to-noise ratio.
