EC 1.13.12.6 Details
EC number
1.13.12.6
Accepted name
Cypridina-luciferin 2-monooxygenase
Reaction
Cypridina luciferin + O2 = oxidized Cypridina luciferin + CO2 +
Other name(s)
Cypridina-type luciferase, luciferase (Cypridina luciferin), Cypridina luciferase
Systematic name
Cypridina-luciferin:oxygen 2-oxidoreductase (decarboxylating)
CAS registry number

Comment
Cypridina is a bioluminescent crustacea. The luciferins (and presumably the luciferases, since they cross-react) of some luminous fish (e.g. Apogon, Parapriacanthus, Porichthys) are apparently similar. The enzyme may be assayed by measurement of light emission.
