Anti luciferase Antibody recognizes luciferase that is commonly used in biological research as a reporter to assess the transcriptional activity in cells that are transfected with a genetic construct containing the luciferase gene under the control of a promoter of interest. Luciferase can also be used to detect the level of cellular ATP in cell viability assays or for kinase activity assays. Additionally proluminescent molecules that are converted to luciferin upon activity of a particular enzyme can be used to detect enzyme activity in coupled or two-step luciferase assays. Such substrates have been used to detect caspase activity and cytochrome P450 activity, among others.
