firefly luciferin

D-Luciferin potassium (D-Luciferin K Salt) is a popular bioluminescent substrate of luciferase in the presence of ATP.

D-Luciferin Sodium is a specific natural substrate for firefly luciferase that catalyzes the production of characteristic yellow-green light in bioluminescent insects. It serves as a core tool for in vivo imaging, cell-level reporter gene detection, and analysis of luciferase activity in tissues and living organisms. The luciferase (luc) gene is a commonly used reporter gene for research and active molecule screening. Chemiluminescence technology is essentially background-free, making the luc reporter gene an ideal choice for detecting low levels of gene expression. Luciferase activity as low as 0.02 pg can be reliably measured in a standard fluorometer.

D-Luciferin (D-(-)-Luciferin) is a luciferase (Luc) substrate that catalyzes the production of typical yellow-green light (560 nm) by bioluminescent insects. D-Luciferin can be used in luciferase assays.

Thioluciferin is a synthetic compound modeled after firefly luciferin, primarily utilized in bioluminescent reporter systems to monitor oxidation states and thiol/disulfide balance.

L-Luciferin is a competitive inhibitor and luminescent substrate for firefly luciferase, convertible by the enzyme/cofactor system into D-Luciferin.

D-Luciferin phosphate trisodium is a synthetic bioluminescent substrate used for firefly luciferase. Under the action of alkaline phosphatase, it loses its phosphate group, releasing free D-Luciferin. This compound is primarily utilized for the highly sensitive detection of phosphatases.

AkaLumine (Aka Lumine) is a firefly luciferin analog that is a luciferase substrate that binds to Abeta aggregates and plaques.AkaLumine is used for in vivo optical imaging.

SEluc-2, a bioluminescent probe derived from firefly luciferin, is designed for the sensitive and selective detection of thiols in living cells.

D-Luciferin 6'-methyl ether sodium salt functions as an inhibitor of firefly luciferase and acts as a cofactor in the Luc-catalyzed synthesis of dinucleoside polyphosphates [1] [2].

Luciferase, firefly is a bioluminescent enzyme extracted from fireflies, commonly used as a reporter gene in cellular imaging studies to quantify target gene expression levels and measure intracellular ATP content, emitting peak fluorescence at 560 nm.
