The Thermo Scientific™ pMCS Tluc16-DD Vector is a multiple cloning site (MCS) vector designed to accept a promoter sequence for study of gene regulation using the intracellular TurboLuc™16 (Tluc16) luciferase reporter.Intracellular Tluc16 luciferase gene, optimized for high expression in mammalian systemsMultiple unique cloning sites provide versatility for transfer of regulatory elements from one vector to anotherDual-destabilization (DD) technology reduces accumulation of Tluc16 luciferase mRNA and protein in cells, enhancing the responsiveness of the assaySynthetic polyA terminator and Transcriptional Pause Site (TPS) included upstream of MCS to minimize non-specific transcriptional read-throughTluc16 luciferase is a 16 kDa, novel, intracellular luciferase derived from the marine copedod Metridia luciferase family

The wild-type luciferase has been modified to reduce its size, increase its brightness, and enable its intracellular expression. The Tluc16 luciferase expression vector also contains dual-destabilization (DD) technology that reduces accumulation of the Tluc16 luciferase mRNA and protein in cells, enhancing the responsiveness of the assay. A synthetic polyA terminator and a Transcriptional Pause Site (TPS) are included upstream of the MCS to minimize non-specific transcriptional read-through. The Tluc16 luciferase activity can be measured using the
