Recombinant Firefly Luciferase Protein

• Cat.No.: Luciferase-168F
• Product Overview: Recombinant Firefly Luciferase Protein.

Specification

• Species: Firefly
• Description: Luciferase from the firefly has become one of the more widely used reporter proteins for the study of gene expression. Luciferase catalyzes a bioluminescent reaction which requires the substrate luciferin as well as Mg2+ and ATP. Mixing these reagents with the cell extract containing luciferase, results in a flash of light that decays rapidly. This light can be detected by a luminometer. The total light emission is proportional to the luciferase activity of the sample.
• Purity: ≥95% estimated by SDS-PAGE

• Storage: At -80 centigrade.
• Concentration: 1 mg/mL
• Storage Buffer: 50 mM Tris buffer with 30% glycerol, pH 7.5
