Schematic representation of the mechanism by which Luc-linker@HFn is recognized by the transferrin receptor and carries out bioluminescence. Luc-linker@HFn is internalized by cancer cells through TfR1. Intracellular GSH can break the disulfide bond and release free luciferin. Luciferin is able to react with luciferase and perform bioluminescence imaging [173]
