Cat. No. CSC-RR0061
Description This cell line is engineered to stably overexpress the Luciferase in SK-OV-3 cells.
Introduction Luciferase is a generic term for the class of oxidative enzymes used in bioluminescence and is distinct from a photoprotein. One famous example is the firefly luciferase (EC 1.13.12.7) from the firefly Photinus pyralis. Firefly luciferase as a laboratory reagent usually refers to P. pyralis luciferase although recombinant luciferases from several other species of fireflies are also commercially available.

Luciferase is the general term for a class of oxidative enzymes that produce bioluminescence. It is extracted from fluorescein, and with the help of oxygen, it undergoes a series of reactions that cause it to glow. Luciferase is the basis of scientific research in various fields, especially in the field of genetics, where it is often used as a reporter gene to examine the activity of other genes. Luciferase reporter genes are paired with target signaling pathways or specific gene promoters to indicate the activity of the target pathway or gene expression through luminescence levels. The luminescence signal is easy to measure, greatly aiding researchers in drug screening applications or exploring gene function. The luciferase reporter stable cell line-SKOV-3 has the luciferase gene exogenously integrated into the SKOV-3 cell genome. SKOV-3 is a human ovarian cancer cell line first isolated in 1973 from the malignant ascites of a 64-year-old white woman with ovarian adenocarcinoma. SK-OV-3 cells are commonly used in cancer research to study ovarian cancer biology, drug resistance mechanisms and explore potential therapeutic targets. The luciferase reporter stable cell line-SKOV-3 is a reliable tool to study the activity of specific genes or signaling pathways and provides a powerful platform for drug screening applications.
The luciferase reporter stable cell line-SKOV-3 is widely used in various research fields. Some of the main uses are listed below: Drug screening: Cell lines are used to screen potential drug candidates, especially in cancer research. This is accomplished by monitoring luciferase activity to determine the effects of various drugs or inhibitors. Gene regulation research: The luciferase reporter stable cell line-SKOV-3 is a powerful tool for studying gene function and regulation. It enables researchers to measure the effects of genetic manipulation on cell behavior. Signaling pathway analysis: By introducing the luciferase gene into cellular pathways, the effects of various stimuli and inhibitors on these signaling pathways can be understood. Oncology research: Given that SKOV-3 cells are a model for ovarian cancer, these reporter cells can be used in oncology research. Luciferase activity can indicate the proliferation or inhibition of cancer cells, helping to develop new cancer therapies. In vivo imaging: Due to the luminescent properties of luciferase, the luciferase reporter stable cell line-SKOV-3 can also be used for real-time imaging studies.
