Coelenterazine-h, Synthetic is a highly sensitive and a specific intracellular luminophore that is useful for measuring changes in levels of superoxide and Ca2+ in cells transfected with apoaequorin cDNA. Coelenterazine-h, Synthetic exhibits nearly 16-fold greater luminescence intensity (emission maximum ~466 nm half-total time of 0.6 - 1.2 sec) as compared to the native Coelenterazine. It is known for its significantly higher luminescence intensity compared to its native counterpart, making it a preferred choice for various biochemical applications. This property enhances its utility in research, particularly in studies involving luminescence-based assays.
