Recombinant Renilla Luciferase Protein

• Cat.No.: Luciferase-01R
• Product Overview: Recombinant Full- length Renilla reniformis Luciferase protein without tag was expressed in E.coli.

Specification

• Description: The Green Renilla luciferase is a 36kDa protein produced by a derivative of the wild type Renilla luciferase gene from the sea pansy, Renilla reniformis. Compared to the wild type luciferase, Green Renilla is more stable in serum and has an the emission spectrum that is shifted toward the green region. The protein provides extremely bright flash signal that decays rapidly.
• Source: E.coli
• Species: Renilla reniformis
• Form: Liquid
• Molecular Mass: 30 kDa
• Purity: > 95%
• Notes: This product is furnished for LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY.
  Not for diagnostic or therapeutic use.
• Storage: Upon arrival, the protein may be stored for 2 weeks at 4 centigrade. For long term storage, it is recommended to store at -20 centigrade or -80 centigrade in appropriate aliquots. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
• Storage Buffer: Supplied in 1x SDS Loading Buffer (60 mM Tris-HCl, pH 6.8, 2% SDS, 10% glycerol, 5% 2-mercaptoethanol, 0.002% bromphenol blue) at the concentration of 20 ng/uL.
• Tag: Non

Q&As

How is luciferase utilized in bioluminescence imaging?

It allows for real-time tracking of cellular and molecular processes in living organisms.

What is the primary function of luciferase in organisms that produce it?

Luciferase enables bioluminescence, helping organisms attract mates, prey, or deter predators.

How does luciferase produce light in a biochemical reaction?

It catalyzes the oxidation of luciferin, releasing light.

In which organisms is luciferase commonly found?

Luciferase is found in fireflies, certain jellyfish, and some fungi and bacteria.

Are there different types of luciferase, and how do they vary?

Yes, there are different types, varying in their substrate specificity and the color of emitted light.

What is the role of ATP in the luciferase reaction?

ATP provides energy for the luciferase reaction, converting luciferin to oxyluciferin.

What advantages does the use of luciferase offer in scientific research?

Luciferase provides a non-invasive and highly sensitive method for studying biological phenomena.
