4,5-Dihydro-2-(6-hydroxy-2-benzothiazolyl)-4-thiazolecarboxylic acid

 


Luciferin is a common bioluminescent reporter used for in-vivo imaging of the expression of the luc marker gene . It is the substrate for the Firefly luciferase enzyme which utilizes ATP and Mg2+ as co-factors and emits a characteristic yellow-green emission in the presence of oxygen
