Product Description
Luciferin 4-Monooxygenase Firefly Recombinant, Active
Overview
Luciferase is a general term for the class of oxidative enzymes used in bioluminescence and is distinct from a photoprotein. Luciferase catalyzes a bioluminescent reaction which involves the substrate luciferin as well as Mg2+ and ATP, produces green light with a wavelength of 562 nm. Luciferase from firefly is broadly used as a reporter for studying gene regulation and function, and for pharmaceutical screening.
Biological Activity
Specific activity is >1x109 light units/mg. One luciferase enzyme units will produce one Relative Light Unit (RLU) at pH7.5 at 25°C.
Specifications
| Purity | Greater than 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
|---|---|
| Formulation | The Luciferase solution (0.5mg/ml) contains 20mM Tris-HCl (pH8.0), 1mM DTT and 10% glycerol. |
| Storage | Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Expression System | Escherichia Coli. |
