Biological Activity

Description Coelenterazine is a luminescent enzyme substrate for apoaequorin and Renilla luciferase. Renilla luciferase and substrate coelenterazine have been used as bioluminescence donors in bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) to detect protein-protein interactions. Coelenterazine is a superoxide anion-sensitive chemiluminescent probe, and it can also be used in the chemiluminescent detection of peroxynitrite.
In vitro

When monitoring various biological processes, coelenterazine (CTZ) can be catalyzed by luciferases, such as the sea pansy Renilla reniformis (Rluc) and the marine copepod Gaussia princeps (Gluc), which results in emission of blue light. In Gli36-Gluc- or Gli36-Rluc-expressing Gli36 cells, coelenterazine (8 礸/ml) shows a bioluminescence signal. [1] In RIN-5F, 4T1, HCT 116, HEK 293, 293FT, HeLa and INS-1 cells, coelenterazine can be used to assay superoxide anion concentrations. [2]

In vivo

In 4T1-implanted mouse, Coelenterazine detects cancer-associated superoxide anion and used to evaluate the role of superoxide anion in cancer cell biology and its role in pathology. [2]
