Coelenterazine-h (50909-86-9) may be used as a substrate in gene reporter assays, live cell assays, and biochemical assays (ELISA, BRET etc). Renilla luciferase catalyzes coelenterazine oxidation by oxygen to produce light. Coelenterazine-h produces 10-fold higher light output than native coelenterazine. Coelenterazine-h also undergoes autoluminescence, which is enhanced by superoxide anion and peroxynitrite in cells.
