10 Things and Beyond to Consider When Shopping or Using Luciferin/Luciferase
If you find yourself questioning the difference between various luciferase or luciferin types, thi...
Enzymes are important biological macromolecules that allow for the control of cellular functions and are vital for effective research. Enzyme activity can be slowed or stopped using inhibitors, like Proteinase K or RNase, while substrates like X-Gluc and X-Gal are used in detection and monitoring. D-Luciferin Potassium Salt, our most popular bioluminescent substrate, can be used for in vivo and in vitro imaging. GoldBio knows that having high quality enzyme tools are important to your laboratory, and we are committed to delivering quality products at a fraction of the price.

Product Description
Tested and Certified for in vivo imaging (See "Luciferin FAQ" in additional information)
Luciferin is a common bioluminescent reporter used for in vivo imaging of the expression of luciferase. This water soluble substrate for the firefly luciferase enzyme utilizes ATP and Mg2+ as cofactors to emit a characteristic yellow-green emission in the presence of oxygen, which shifts to red light in vivo at 37°C. Through the utilization of ATP, the reaction can be further used to indicate the presence of energy or life in order to function as a life-death stain.
Luciferin is a common reagent used throughout the biotechnology field and specifically for in vivo imaging. Luciferase labeled tumor cells, stem cells or infectious diseases are often inoculated into research animals such as rats or mice for investigation. The injection of Luciferin allows for the real-time, noninvasive monitoring of disease progression and/or drug efficacy in these model systems through Bioluminescence Imaging (BLI).
Luciferin is also commonly used for in vitro research, including luciferase and ATP assays, gene reporter assays, high throughput sequencing and various contamination assays.
L-Luciferin is the chiralic sister to D-luciferin. While most researchers claim that L-luciferin does not produce any light, Lembert has reported that it produces a very weak and extremely slow manifesting light (Lembert, 1996). Nakamura suggested that an enzyme system incorporating luciferase might be responsible for changing the chirality of the L-luciferin to D-luciferin (Nakamura et al., 2006) (See Reference Library).
