== Function ==
[[Luciferase]] (Luc) or '''luciferin monooxygenase''' (Lucmo)is an oxidative enzyme used in bioluminescence.  It catalyzes the oxidation of the pigment luciferin producing oxyluciferin and light<ref>PMID:2030669</ref>.  See detailed analysis in<br />
* [[Luciola cruciata luciferase]]<br />
* [[Luciferase FMN complex- Vibrio harveyi]]<br />
* [[Dinoflagellate luciferase]]<br />
* [[Luciferase (Hebrew)]].
See [[Colored & Bioluminescent Protein]].
== Relevance ==
Luc is used in biological research to assess gene transfection into cells where the Luc gene is added to the transfected gene and the light emission by Luc measured for indication of the transfection success<ref>PMID:3072883</ref>.  '''NanoLuc luciferase''' is a small mutated luciferase from shrimp with enhanced stability and a significant increase in luminescence <ref>PMID:27045664</ref>.

Several organisms are bioluminescent, meaning that they produce light. Luciferase is one of the enzymes that catalyzes light emitting reactions in organisms.
