Coelenterazine 400 a is a chromophore that produces the chemiluminescence displayed by the Aequorin protein in the presence of Ca2+. Aequorin is employed as a chemiluminescent probe for intracellular Ca2+, and derivatives of this protein generated with various Coelenterazine derivatives produced a range of Ca2+ probes with varying spectral properties. Coelenterazine 400 a is a bisdeoxy derivative of coelenterazine. It displays an emission maximum of 395nm following conversion by Renilla luciferase (Rluc). Coelenterazine 400 a is paired with class 1 and 3 GFP acceptors.
