Description
Luciferase belongs to the oxidative enzymes used in bioluminescence and is different from the photoprotein. In the luciferase reaction, luciferase acts on the appropriate substrate luciferin and light is emitted. A variety of organisms regulate their light production using different luciferases. The well studied luciferases are mainly from fireflies and Renilla.
Specificity
This antibody binds to Renilla reniformis. Cross reactivity with luciferase derived from other species has not yet been tested.
Storage
Store at 4°C if intended for use within one month, otherwise, store at -20°C to -80°C. The lyophilizedantibody is stable for at least 18 months after the date of receipt when stored at -20°C to -80°C. After reconstitution, it can be aliquoted and stored frozen at -20°C to -80°C in a manual defrost freezer for at least 6 months without detectable loss of activity. Upon reconstitution, the antibody can also be stored for 1 month at 4°C. Please avoid freeze-thaw cycles, as this will lower the activity of the antibody.
