Products from BPS Bioscience require a minimum order value above 400€
Applications: Study enzyme kinetics and screen small molecule inhibitors for drug discovery and high throughput screening (HTS) applications.
Background: NUAK2 (NUAK family SNF1-like kinase 2), also known as SNF1/AMP kinase-related kinase (SNARK), is a member of the AMP-activated protein kinase family. It participates in cell-cell interactions and cell motility by regulating the conversion of F-actin to G-actin, contributes to neural development, cell proliferation and apoptosis. Loss of function mutations in NUAK2 can result in anencephaly, due to abnormal Hippo signaling pathway cytoskeletal regulation during neural tube closure. NUAK2 has also been involved in cancer development and progression, and it is overexpressed in gastric and cervical cancer and in glioma. Knockdown of NUAK2 in melanoma and cervical cancer cells, in vitro, inhibits cell proliferation and migration. Further studies and a deeper understanding of NUAK2 role and partners will help identify novel cancer therapy strategies.
Contraindications: The final concentration of DMSO in the assay should not exceed 1%.
Description: The Chemi-Verse™ NUAK2 Kinase Assay Kit is designed to measure NUAK2 (NUAK family SF-1 like kinase 2) kinase activity for screening and profiling applications using ADP-Glo™ as a detection reagent. The assay kit comes in a convenient 96-well format, with enough purified recombinant NUAK2 kinase, kinase substrate, ATP, and kinase assay buffer for 100 enzyme reactions.
Storage Stability: This assay kit will perform optimally for up to 6 months from date of receipt when the materials are stored as directed.
