Cat.No. :	Kit-0529
Product Overview :	Renilla Luciferase Assay Kit is designed to provide a simple and sensitive method of detecting Renilla luciferase. Through the use of a specially designed buffer formulation, this assay kit yields reliable, linear results with minimal autoluminescence background and superior sensitivity.
Size :	50 assays, 150 assays, 1,000 assays
Description :	Renilla luciferase has been used as a reporter gene for studying gene regulation and function in vitro and in vivo. Recently, Renilla luciferase has been widely used in multiplex transcriptional reporter assays or as a normalizing transfection control for Firefly luciferase assay. Renilla luciferase, a monomeric 36,000 Dalton protein, catalyzes coelenterazine oxidation by oxygen to produce light. The enzyme does not require post-translational modification for its activity, and may function as a genetic reporter immediately following translation. Coelenterazine native is the natural substrate for Renilla luciferase. Coelenterazine also emits light from enzyme-independent oxidation, a process known as autoluminescence. The autoluminescence is enhanced by superoxide anion and peroxynitrite in cells and tissues.
Storage :	Store the kit at -20°C or below. The components of the kit are Stable at -20°C for three months and at -70°C for at least 6 months from date of receipt. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Aliquot Renilla luciferase assay buffer and enhancer for storage if necessary. Renilla luciferase working solution (assay buffer + coelenterazine) should be prepared fresh for each use and used within 2 hours for best results.
