|Section2= |Section3= }} Coelenterazine is the luciferin, the light-emitting molecule, found in many aquatic organisms across seven phyla. It is the substrate of many luciferases such as ''Renilla reniformis'' luciferase (Rluc), ''Gaussia'' luciferase (Gluc), and photoproteins, including aequorin, and obelin. ==History== Coelenterazine was simultaneously isolated and characterized by two groups studying the luminescent organisms sea pansy (''Renilla reniformis'') and the coelenterate ''Aequorea victoria'', respectively. Both groups unknowingly discovered that the same compound was used in both luminescent systems, however the name of the molecule was given after the coelenterate. Likewise, the two main metabolites - coelenteramide and coelenteramine - were named after their respective functional groups. Despite being first discovered in ''Aequorea victoria'', it was later shown that they do not synthesize coelenterazine, rather they obtain it through their diet, largely from crustaceans and copepods. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Coelenterazine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
