In enzymology a Cypridina-luciferin 2-monooxygenase (EC 1.13.12.6) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionCypridina luciferin + O2 oxidized Cypridina luciferin + CO2 + hnuThus the two substrates of this enzyme are Cypridina luciferin and O2 whereas its 3 products are oxidized Cypridina luciferin CO2 and light.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases specifically those acting on single donors with O2 as oxidant and incorporation of two atoms of oxygen into the substrate (oxygenases).
