HA-tag

12CA5 Fv-clasp fragment (green, cyan) with its antigen peptide, YPYDVPDYA (magenta), which is used as HA tag. Image created with PyMOL from PDB: 5XCS​.

influenza virus. The HA-tag is derived from the HA-molecule corresponding to amino acids 98-106. HA-tag has been extensively used as a general epitope tag in expression vectors
.
bioactivity or the biodistribution of the recombinant protein. This tag facilitates the detection, isolation and purification of the protein of interest.[2]

The HA-tag is not suitable for detection or purification of proteins from

immunoreactivity.[3] Labeling of endogenous proteins with HA-tag using CRISPR was recently accomplished in-vivo in differentiated neurons.[4]

Sequence

The DNA sequences for the HA-tag include: 5'-TAC-CCA-TAC-GAT-GTT-CCA-GAT-TAC-GCT-3' or 5'-TAT-CCA-TAT-GAT-GTT-CCA-GAT-TAT-GCT-3'. The resulting amino acid sequence is YPYDVPDYA (Tyr-Pro-Tyr-Asp-Val-Pro-Asp-Tyr-Ala).[citation needed]
