hGluc

The luciferase from the marine copepod Gaussia princeps (Gluc) is the smallest (∼19.9-kDa) coelenterazine (CTZ)-utilizing luciferase known thus far. A humanized variant of Gluc (hGluc), which was codon optimized for expression in cultured mammalian cells, has been widely used as a reporter gene. Gaussia luciferase exhibits an activity up to 1,000-fold higher than to Renilla reniformis luciferase (Rluc), firefly luciferase (Fluc), or bacterial luciferases (LuxAB). The outstanding sensitivity of Gluc-based assays was previously demonstrated detecting as low as 10−18 mol purified Gluc or one eukaryotic cell transiently expressing Gluc.
