AdipoGen D-Luciferin potassium salt
Supplier: AdipoGen CDXL0009M050
Chemical. CAS 115144-35-9. Formula C11H7KN2O3S2. MW 318.41. D-Luciferin is the most popular and versatile bioluminescent substrate. Firefly luciferase produces light by the ATP-dependent oxidation Mg2 as cofactor of luciferin. It emits a characteristic yellow-green emission in the presence of oxygen, which shifts to red light in vivo. The 560nm chemiluminescence from this reaction peaks within seconds, with light output that is proportional to luciferase activity when luciferin and ATP are present in excess. Firefly luciferase has long been conjugated to antibodies and used as a label in immunoassays using luciferin as the substrate for detection. One particular advantage to the enzyme is that there is low endogenous luciferase activity in mammalian tissues besides its high sensitivity. Through the utilization of ATP, the reaction can be further used to indicate the presence of energy or life in order to function as a life-death stain.
