pyCTZ (Cat No.:I044520) is a synthetic analog of coelenterazine, the natural substrate of marine luciferases such as Renilla and Gaussia luciferase. Designed to enhance bioluminescence imaging, pyCTZ exhibits improved light output, wavelength tuning, and enzyme selectivity compared to native coelenterazine. It reacts with luciferases to emit visible light, enabling sensitive detection of biological processes in live cells and organisms. pyCTZ is especially useful in dual-reporter assays, in vivo imaging, and high-throughput screening applications. Its enhanced stability and brightness make it a powerful tool in molecular and cellular imaging technologies.
