General description
Contents: Lyophilizate
Specific activity: Approximately 15 mU/mg protein at +25°C with FMN and myristine aldehyde as the substrates, and 50 mU NAD(P)H:FMN oxidoreductase per ml assay solution (based on the relative light emission in the ATP system under the formation of pyrophosphate with 1 mU luciferase from Photinus pyralis).
Alkanal reduced FMN-oxygen oxidoreductase (1-hydroxylating, luminescing)
Luciferase from bacteria exists as a heterodimer with α and β chains.
Application
Luciferase may be used:
- to treat mammary tumor cryosections for bioluminescence imaging studies
- as a component of luciferase reaction mixture
- in bioluminescence assay membrane preparations of Zymomonas mobilis
Biochem/physiol Actions
Luciferase catalyzes the conversion of reduced flavin mononucleotide in the presence of oxygen and long-chain aldehyde to flavin mononucleotide, visible light and a fatty acid. It is a reporter enzyme for sensitive quantitation. The lucifearse fusion proteins have been useful in many protein based interaction studies especially in living cells.
Quality
Contaminants: <10 mU NADH:FMN oxidoreductase/mg protein, <10 mU myokinase/mg protein, and <1 mU NADH oxidase/mg protein
Storage and Stability
Store at 2 to 8 °C. (A decrease in activity of approximately 20% may occur within 12 months.)
