Luciferase is a general term for a class of enzymes found in living organisms that catalyze the oxidation of luciferin or fatty aldehydes to produce light. Luciferases are widely distributed among bioluminescent organisms in nature, such as fireflies and luminous bacteria. Based on differences in origin and structure, luciferases can be categorized into three main types: firefly luciferase, bacterial luciferase, and marine organism luciferase.

Its core function involves catalyzing a chemical reaction between the substrate (luciferin) and oxygen, converting chemical energy into light energy to produce bioluminescence that is visible to the naked eye or detectable by instruments. The light-emitting process requires no external excitation source; light is produced autonomously through the enzymatic reaction. Characterized by high specificity and sensitivity, luciferase serves as a highly valuable tool molecule in life science research.

Luciferase is not a bulk industrial enzyme; it is primarily marketed in forms such as recombinant luciferase, luciferase assay kits, dual-luciferase reporter gene systems, and ATP/cell viability bioluminescence assay reagents.

Global key Luciferase players cover Promega, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Merck KGaA, Revvity, Takara Bio, etc.
