TF Luciferase Reporter Vectors

pTF-Luc reporter vectors are a series of firefly luciferase-based reporter constructs for quantitative measurement of the activities of transcription factors (TFs) in cells. Each vector contains a cis-element (DNA binding sequence), a minimal promoter, and firefly luciferase gene. When a TF is activated, it binds to cis-element and results in induction of luciferase gene expression. Therefore, luciferase activity represents the activity of the TF.
