Luciferin (Latia)

Description:
Luciferin (Latia), with the CAS number 21730-91-6, is a bioluminescent compound primarily found in certain marine organisms, notably the lanternfish. This molecule is integral to the biochemical process of bioluminescence, where it reacts with oxygen in the presence of the enzyme luciferase to produce light. Luciferin is characterized by its ability to emit light in a specific wavelength range, which can vary depending on the organism and the specific luciferin-luciferase system involved. The structure of luciferin typically includes a chromophore that undergoes oxidation, leading to the emission of photons. This compound plays a crucial role in various ecological functions, such as predation, communication, and camouflage. Additionally, luciferin has garnered interest in scientific research and biotechnology, particularly in applications like bioluminescent imaging and biosensors. Its unique properties make it a valuable tool for studying biological processes and environmental monitoring.
