The substrate of firefly luciferase
Featured Products
D-Luciferin sodium salt (CAS 103404-75-7) is a bioluminescent substrate widely utilized in biomedical research and diagnostic applications. Upon entering cells, D-Luciferin undergoes enzymatic oxidation catalyzed by luciferase enzymes, a reaction requiring ATP and molecular oxygen that emits detectable light. This ATP-dependent bioluminescent reaction enables non-invasive monitoring of intracellular metabolic status and energy availability. Commonly employed in bioluminescence imaging, D-Luciferin sodium salt serves as a powerful tool to assess cellular viability, metabolism, and gene expression in research investigating cell biology, oncology, and metabolism.
