MeSH definition : A photoprotein isolated from the bioluminescent jellyfish Aequorea. It emits visible
light by an intramolecular reaction when a trace amount of calcium ion is added. The
light-emitting moiety in the bioluminescence reaction is believed to be 2-amino-3-benzyl-5-(p-hydroxyphenyl)pyrazine
(AF-350).;
MeSH synonym : Aequorine;
MeSH CAS label : aequorins;
Registry Number MeSH : 50934-79-7;
