| Glossary: |
Cypridina-luciferin = (3-{3,7-dihydro-6-(1H-indol-3-yl)-2-[(S)-1-methylpropyl]-3-oxoimidazo[1,2-a]pyrazin-8-yl}propyl)guanidine |
| Other name(s): |
Cypridina-type luciferase; luciferase (Cypridina luciferin); Cypridina luciferase |
| Systematic name: |
Cypridina-luciferin:oxygen 2-oxidoreductase (decarboxylating) |
| Comments: |
Cypridina is a bioluminescent crustacea. The luciferins (and presumably the luciferases, since they cross-react) of some luminous fish (e.g. Apogon, Parapriacanthus, Porichthys) are apparently similar. The enzyme may be assayed by measurement of light emission. |
