D-Luciferin, sodium salt monohydrate (CAS 103404-75-7)
QUICK LINKS
D-Luciferin, sodium salt monohydrate, is a water-soluble form of D-luciferin, the substrate for the enzyme luciferase, which is involved in the bioluminescence seen in some organisms, such as fireflies. The sodium salt form enhances its solubility in aqueous solutions, making it particularly useful in various scientific research applications, especially in bioluminescent assays. The light emitted can be in the visible spectrum, and its intensity is directly proportional to the concentration of luciferase and luciferin present, making it an excellent tool for biological assays. In molecular and cellular biology, D-Luciferin, sodium salt monohydrate, is used in bioluminescent imaging techniques to study gene expression and monitor cellular events in real-time. The luciferin-luciferase system has been adapted for use in reporter assays, where the luciferase gene is introduced into cells alongside a gene of interest.
