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.
Description: B-raf, after stimulation by activated RAS, phosphorylates MEK1 resulting in activation of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase cascade. Since the MAPK cascade has been shown to be a critical factor in melanoma development, it has been proposed that targeting B-raf could be a promising approach to combat melanoma. More importantly, 40-60% of melanomas display a mutation in BRAF, e.g. B-Raf(V600E), which leads to constitutive activation of the MAP kinase pathway. The B-Raf(V600E) Kinase Assay Kit is designed to measure B-Raf(V600E) kinase activity for screening and profiling applications using Kinase-Glo® MAX as a detection reagent. In addition, the B-Raf(V600E) Kinase Assay Kit includes wild type B-Raf enzyme as a positive control for researchers investigating B-Raf(V600E) specific inhibitors.
Storage Stability: Stable 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 B-Raf(V600E) Kinase Assay Kit comes in a convenient 96-well format, with enough purified recombinant B-Raf enzyme, B-Raf substrate, ATP and kinase assay buffer for 100 enzyme reactions.
Warnings: Avoid freeze/thaw cycles.
Biosafety Level: Not applicable (BSL-1)
