Products from BPS Bioscience require a minimum order value above 400€
Applications: Great for studying enzyme kinetics and screening small molecular inhibitors for drug discovery and HTS applications.
Background: Phosphodiesterases (PDEs) play an important role in dynamic regulation ofcAMP and cGMP signaling. PDE3B, also known as cGMP-inhibited phosphodiesterase, isinvolved in mediating the antilipolytic and anti glycogenlytic effects of insulin in adipose and livertissues. PDE3B can hydrolyze both cAMP and cGMP.
Description: The PDE3B Assay Kit is designed for identification of PDE3B inhibitors using fluorescence polarization. The assay is based on the binding of a fluorescent nucleotide monophosphate generated by PDE3B to the binding agent. The key to the PDE3B Assay Kit is the specific binding agent. Using this kit, only two simple steps on a microtiter plate are required for PDE3B reactions. First, the fluorescently labeled cAMP is incubated with a sample containing PDE3B for 1 hour. Second, binding agent is added to the reaction mix to produce a change in fluorescent polarization that can then be measured using a fluorescence reader equipped for the measurement of fluorescence polarization.
Storage Stability: At least 6 months from date of receipt, when stored as directed. Kit components require different storage conditions. Be sure to store each component at the proper temperature upon arrival.
Supplied As: The PDE1C inhibitor screening assay kit comes in a convenient 96-well format, including purified PDE1C enzyme, fluorescently labeled PDE1C substrate (cAMP), binding agent, and PDE assay buffer for 100 enzyme reactions.
Warnings: Avoid freeze/thaw cycles.
Biosafety Level: Not applicable (BSL-1)
