Firefly luciferase and Renilla luciferase can catalyze the oxidation of luciferin or coelenterazine to form oxyluciferin or coelenteramide, respectively, and produce bioluminescence in the process. TransDetect® Double-Luciferase Reporter Assay Kit first uses luciferin as a substrate to detect the activity of the firefly luciferase reporter gene. Then, while quenching the fluorescence reaction, the activity of the Renilla luciferase reporter gene was detected by using coelenterazine as a substrate. It has the characteristics of rapid detection, high sensitivity, wide detection range, and no interference with the endogenous activity of cells.
