luminescent proteins การใช้

• The DNA encoding the luminescent protein is incorporated into the laboratory animal either via a viral vector or by creating a transgenic animal.
• In the 1960s and 1970s, GFP, along with the separate luminescent protein aequorin ( an enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of luciferin, releasing light ), was first purified from " Aequorea victoria " and its properties studied by Osamu Shimomura.
