D-Luciferin phosphate (trisodium)

D-Luciferin phosphate trisodium is a synthetic and bioluminescent substrate for firefly luciferase. D-Luciferin phosphate trisodium is dephosphorylated in the presence of alkaline phosphatase, releasing the free D-fluorescein. D-Luciferin phosphate trisodium is mainly used for highly sensitive detection of phosphatase[1].
