Species
Vibrio fischeri
Product Name
Native Vibrio fischeri Luciferase
Product Overview
Native luciferase was purified from Vibrio fischeri. Partially purified, soluble extracts containing FMN-dependent luciferase and NADH- and NADPH-dependent FMN reductases. Produces light in a system containing FMN, NADH or NADPH, and n-decyl aldehyde.
Description
Luciferase is a generic term for the class of oxidative enzymes used in bioluminescence and is distinct from a photoprotein. The name is derived from Lucifer, the root of which means ""light-bearer"" (lucem ferre).
