This protein has a molecular mass of approximately 61 kDa and is responsible for the characteristic glow of fireflies. The luciferase expression occurs mainly in the light-producing organs of fireflies such as in the insect Photinus pyralis where it plays an important role in light emission.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nFirefly luciferase converts chemical energy into light making it valuable for various biological applications as a reporter gene. It participates in the formation of a complex with its substrates luciferin and ATP resulting in the production of a photon. This enzyme is widely used in molecular and cellular biology experiments to monitor gene expression and study protein-protein interactions due to its luminescent properties.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nFirefly luciferase functions in the bioluminescent pathway involving the conversion of luciferin to oxyluciferin and light emission. It interfaces with ATP a universal energy carrier which highlights its integration into the cellular energy systems. Firefly luciferase is similar to other oxidative enzymes though it is not directly involved with metabolic pathways like the TCA cycle or glycolysis.\u003cbr\u003e\nResearchers often utilize firefly luciferase as a tool in tumor studies or infectious disease models. Its luminescence aids in imaging and tracking biological processes in real-time. While firefly luciferase itself is not directly associated with specific diseases the use of firefly agents allows researchers to study disease outcomes assess therapeutic efficacy and understand gene expression profiles related to cancer and viral infections often in connection with proteins such as p53 in cancer research.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843812708521,"sku":"ab100961","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/es\/products\/abcam-ab100961","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
