Gaussia luciferase is a luminescent protein with quantum yields higher than the luciferases from Renilla sp. and firefly. It is ATP-independent, requiring only coelenterazine and O2 as substrates. Gaussia's high quantum yields make it particularly useful in immunoassays. It is supplied pre-biotinylated for direct use in streptavidin/avidin based immunoassays.

Oxidation of coelenterazine by Gaussia luciferase to yield light
The above diagram depicts the oxidation of coelenterazine by Gaussia luciferase to yield light. Coelenterazine-utilizing luciferases, such as Gaussia luciferase, do not require accessory high-energy molecules such as ATP for their signal. Gaussia luciferase is the brightest of all luciferase enzymes, which makes it superior to other luminescent proteins in assays requiring very low detection limits.
