About RPE
Enables metal ion binding activity; protein homodimerization activity; and ribulose-phosphate 3-epimerase activity. Involved in carbohydrate metabolic process and pentose-phosphate shunt. Located in extracellular exosome. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

About PE
Phycoerythrin (PE, R-PE) is a red-emitting fluorescent protein-chromophore complex that can be excited the 488-nm blue, 532-nm green, or 561-nm yellow-green laser with increasing efficiency and captured with a 586/14 nm bandpass filter. PE has an excitation peak at 565 nm and an emission peak at 578 nm. PE is 240kD in size and has an extinction coefficient of ~2x10^6 which makes it one of the brightest fluorophores available and a potent donor upon which to build tandem fluorophores with longer Stoke's Shifts.
