| Description | Luciferase is a flavin-dependent monooxygenase found in bioluminescent bacteria. Luciferase is an invaluable tool for identifying and characterizing functional variants, allowing investigations of gene expression, intracellular signaling, transcription factors, receptor activity, and protein folding. |
