FLuc mRNA (Unmodified)
This RNA encodes Firefly Luciferase which is an enzyme that produces bioluminescence, when combined with a molecule called luciferin. This bioluminescent signal can be measured using specialized instruments and can be used to track gene expression and protein activity in living cells and animals.
Scientists can use this tool to study how genes are regulated in response to different stimuli or conditions, such as disease or environmental changes. By introducing the RNA that encodes for Firefly Luciferase into cells or animals, they can track the expression and activity of specific genes or proteins over time. This information can help researchers better understand how biological processes work and identify potential targets for drug development.
