CC -!- FUNCTION: Ca(2+)-dependent bioluminescence photoprotein. Displays CC an emission peak at 470 nm (blue light). Trace amounts of calcium CC ion trigger the intramolecular oxidation of the chromophore, CC coelenterazine into coelenteramide and CO(2) with the concomitant CC emission of light. CC -!- PTM: The reduction of the disulfide bond is necessary to CC regenerate aequorin from apoaequorin. CC -!- BIOTECHNOLOGY: Aequorin is used as an intracellular Ca(2+) CC indicator. Aequorin has a number of advantages over other Ca(2+) CC indicators, for example, low leakage rate from cells, lack of CC intracellular compartmentalization or sequestration and it does CC not disrupt cell functions or embryo development. CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the aequorin family. CC -!- SIMILARITY: Contains 4 EF-hand domains. CC -!- CAUTION: Was originally (PubMed:8405461) thought to have a CC internal disulfide bond.
