CAS 2591-17-5: Firefly luciferin

Description: Firefly luciferin, with the CAS number 2591-17-5, is a bioluminescent compound primarily found in fireflies and certain other organisms. It is a small, organic molecule that plays a crucial role in the biochemical process of bioluminescence, where it reacts with oxygen in the presence of the enzyme luciferase to produce light. The structure of luciferin typically includes a thiazole ring and a carboxylic acid group, contributing to its unique properties. This compound is known for its ability to emit light in the visible spectrum, which is often used by fireflies for communication and mating purposes. Firefly luciferin is soluble in polar solvents, and its luminescent properties have made it a valuable tool in various scientific applications, including bioluminescent imaging and assays in molecular biology. Additionally, research into luciferin has implications for understanding metabolic processes and developing novel bioluminescent markers for biological studies.
