Products from BPS Bioscience require a minimum order value above 400€
Applications: Useful for studying enzyme kinetics and screening small molecular inhibitors for drug discovery and HTS applications.
Background: TAK1 is a serine/threonine protein kinase that mediates signaling by TGFβ and morphogenetic protein (BMP). In response to IL-1, TAK1 forms a kinase complex with TAB1 and this complex is required for the activation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB). TAK1 can also activate MAPK8/JNK and MAP2K4/MKK4 and thus play a role in the cell response to environmental stress. It has been implicated in various inflammation disorders and cancers, including breast and pancreatic cancer.
Description: The TAK1-TAB1 Kinase Assay Kit is designed to measure TAK1-TAB1 kinase activity for screening and profiling applications using ADP-Glo® Kinase Assay as a detection reagent.
Storage Stability: Up to 6 months when stored as recommended.
Supplied As: The TAK1-TAB1 Kinase Assay Kit comes in a convenient 96-well format, with enough purified recombinant TAK1-TAB1 enzyme, MBP, ATP, and kinase assay buffer for 100 enzyme reactions.
Warnings: Avoid freeze/thaw cycles.
Biosafety Level: Not applicable (BSL-1)
