Beschreibung

Luciferin-beta-D-galactoside is an acceptor in immunoassays. It is used as a label for specific antibodies and antigens, and the light emitted by this compound can be measured with a luminometer. Luciferin-beta-D-galactoside binds to the bacterial enzyme β-galactosidase, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of lactose to form glucose and galactose. Mammalian cells have been used as a source of β-galactosidase in order to measure luciferin-beta-D-galactoside activity. The substrate specificity of this enzyme has also been studied using mammalian tissue extracts.
