Application

D-Luciferin may be used as a substrate in luciferase-based (EC 1.13.12.7) bioluminescence imaging and cell-based high-throughput screening applications. ATP can be measured with a reagent made up of D-luciferin and luciferase from firefly.D-Luciferin may be used and studied as a partial agonist for G protein-coupled receptor-35 (GPR35).

High-frequency relapse remains a clinical hurdle for complete remission of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) patients, with heterogeneous dysregulated signaling profiles-including of Raf-MEK-ERK and Akt-mTORC1-S6K signaling pathways-recently being implicated in disease outcomes. Here we report that GM-CSF/IL-3/IL-5 receptor common β-chain-associated
