A luminescent reporter enzyme whose output can report promoter activity under controlled expression and assay conditions.
Its light-producing reaction uses luciferin, oxygen and ATP, allowing chemical turnover to generate a detectable photon signal. ATP availability and enzyme abundance can both affect output, so light intensity does not uniquely measure transcription without appropriate normalization. [ref]
