Coelenteramide is the oxidized product or oxyluciferin of the bioluminescent reactions in many marine organisms that use coelenterazine. It was first isolated as a blue fluorescent protein from Aequorea victoria after the animals were stimulated to emit light. Under basic conditions the compound will break down further into coelenteramine and 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid.It is an aminopyrazine.
