Luciferase, easily the coolest (hottest?) name I've come across in a while. Here's the wiki:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luciferase

"Luciferase is a generic term for the class of oxidative enzymes that produce bioluminescence"

and,

"Bioluminescence is the production and emission of light by a living organism"
