Products from BPS Bioscience require a minimum order value above 400€
Applications: Great for studying enzyme kinetics and HTS applications.
Background: ALKBH5 (AlkB Homolog 5, RNA Demethylase) is an enzyme that removes N6-Methyladenosine (m^6A) from target mRNAs. ALKBH5 has been connected to various cancers, viral replication, and metabolic diseases while also being shown to remove the alkylation damage and restore adenine in DNA.
Contraindications: DMSO >1%, strong acids or bases, ionic detergents, high salt
Description: The ALKBH5 Chemiluminescent Assay Kit is designed to measure ALKBH5 activity for screening and profiling applications. The key to the ALKBH5 Chemiluminescent Assay Kit is a highly specific antibody that recognizes methylated substrate. Signal is inversely related to ALKBH5 demethylase activity. With this kit, only three simple steps on a microtiter plate are required for detection of demethylase activity. First, ALKBH5 enzyme is incubated with the substrate. Next, primary antibody is added. Finally, the plate is treated with an HRP-labeled secondary antibody followed by the addition of the HRP substrate to produce chemiluminescence that can be measured using a chemiluminescence reader.
Storage Stability: At least 6 months from date of receipt, when stored as directed
Warnings: Avoid freeze/thaw cycles.
Biosafety Level: Not applicable (BSL-1)
