Coelenterazine is a luminophore found in aquatic organisms and is the substrate for many luciferase enzymes, including Renilla reniformis, Gaussia and aequorins. It is commonly used for bioluminescent calcium detection and the monitoring of reporter genes in BRET (Bioluminescence Resonance Energy Transfer), ELISA and HTS methods as well as chemiluminescent detection of superoxide anions and peroxynitrite in cells or tissues.
Note: It is not recommended to store dissolved coelenterazine at -20°C or -70°C. Coelenterazine is a high energy dioxetanone ring structure that will spontaneously decompose even at low temperatures.

| Description | This compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as imidazopyrazines. These are organic heteropolycyclic compounds containing a pyrazine ring fused to an imidazole ring. These also include hydrogenated derivatives of the imidazopyrazine moiety. Imidazole is 5-membered ring consisting of three carbon atoms, and two nitrogen centers at the 1- and 3-positions. Pyrazine is a 6-membered ring consisting of six carbon atoms and two nitrogen centers at ring positions 1 and 4. |
