| Short Name | Dino_Luciferase_rpt_sf |
| description | This entry represents the repeats found in dinoflagellate luciferases.Luciferase is involved in catalysing the light emitting reaction in bioluminescence, and luciferin binding protein (LBP) is known to bind to luciferin (the substrate for luciferase) to stop it reacting with the enzyme and therefore switching off the bioluminescence function. The expression of these two proteins is controlled by a circadian clock at the translational level, with synthesis and degradation occurring on a daily basis []. |
