Description

The Firefly Luciferase (F-Luc) mRNA encodes the enzyme responsible for the bioluminescence seen in fireflies and click beetles. Upon delivery into cells or animals, it is translated into F-Luc protein, which emits light in the presence of its substrate, Luciferin.  
 
This mRNA features: 
- A Cap 1 structure with high capping efficiency 
- 100% substitution with 5-Methoxyuridine (5-MOU) for improved protein expression and reduced innate immune response 
- A 100A poly(A) tail to mimic natural mature mRNA 
 
This construct offers strong, reliable bioluminescent signaling, making it ideal for transfection optimization, biodistribution studies, and LNP delivery validation.
