Description
Cypridina Luciferase was first cloned by Eric Thompson, and S. Nagata under Fred Tsuji in Japan 1989. Cypridina is a 555 amino acid, 62.171 KDa protein that oxidizes the luciferin to produce blue light at 462 nm Em Max. The advantage of using the Cypridna system: it does not cross react with Coelenterazine or Firefly d-Luciferin so it may be used in multiplex assays, brighter then Firefly Luciferase.
