| D-LUCIFERIN Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | off-white to light yellow powder | | Uses | In the assay of ATP. | | Uses | D-Luciferin has been used in determining luciferase activity by luciferase assay in mice and Arabidopsis thaliana seeds. It has also been used in measuring bioluminescence in neonatal rat ventricular cardiomyocytes. | | Uses | D-Luciferin has been used in the preparation of the reaction mixture for nitric oxide determination by minescence measurement. It has also been used in the preparation of D-luciferin stock solution for luciferin assays. | | Definition | ChEBI: A 1,3-thiazolemonocarboxylic acid consisting of 3,5-dihydrothiophene-4-carboxylic acid having a 6-hydroxybenzothiazol-2-yl group at the 2-position. | | General Description | D-Luciferin is a small molecule present abundantly in bioluminescent organisms. This molecule is sensitive to oxygen and light. | | Biochem/physiol Actions | D-Luciferin uptake within the cells is regulated by the adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-binding cassette (ABC) transporter inhibitors like ATP-binding cassette transporter G2 (ABCG2)/ breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) inhibitor fumitremorgin C. This substrate is oxidized by firefly luciferase that results in emitting a photon, which has the capability of passing through living tissues. | | Purification Methods | D-Luciferin crystallises as pale yellow needles from H2O, or MeOH (83mg/7mL). It has UV max at 263 and 327nm (log 3.88 and 4.27) in 95% EtOH. The Na salt has a solubility of 4mg in 1 mL of 0.05M glycine. [White et al.
