Description
Convenient, Scalable Kinase Profiling
The Kinase Enzyme Systems include a recombinant kinase enzyme, a substrate appropriate for the enzyme, a reaction buffer and supplemental reagents as needed. The CK2α2 Kinase Enzyme System contains:
CK2α2 Kinase, 10μg (Human, recombinant, full-length); MW: ~64kDa
CK2 Substrate (1mg/ml, RRRADDSDDDDD)
5X Reaction Buffer; DTT, 0.1M
Full-length recombinant human CK2 alpha 2 was expressed by baculovirus in Sf9 insect cells using an N-terminal GST tag. CK2α2 or casein kinase II alpha 2 is a member of the CK2 family of Ser/Thr protein kinases. CK2α2 plays a fundamental role in cell function and is involved in DNA replication, regulation of basal and inducible transcription, translation and control of metabolism. CK2α2 prefers utilization of acidic proteins such as caseins as substrates. The CK2a2 holoenzyme is a tetramer composed of an alpha chain, an alpha' and two beta chains. The alpha and alpha' chains contain the catalytic site.
The CK2α2 Kinase Enzyme System can be purchased with or without the ADP-Glo™ Kinase Assay reagents. Used together, the ADP-Glo™ Kinase Assay + Kinase Enzyme Systems provide a convenient method for profiling the effect of lead compounds on kinase activity. Assay advantages include broad dynamic range, ease of use and high sensitivity. Kinase Enzyme Systems are manufactured by SignalChem. Bulk quantities available upon request.
Use with ADP-Glo™ Kinase Assay
The ADP-Glo™ Kinase Assay is a luminescent kinase assay that measures ADP formed from a kinase reaction; ADP is converted into ATP, which is a substrate in a reaction catalyzed by Ultra-Glo™ Luciferase that produces light. The luminescent signal positively correlates with ADP amount and kinase activity. The assay is well suited for measuring the effects of chemical compounds on the activity of a broad range of purified kinases, making it ideal for both primary screening as well as kinase selectivity profiling. The ADP-Glo™ Kinase Assay can be used to monitor the activity of virtually any ADP-generating enzyme (e.g., kinase or ATPase) using up to 1mM ATP.
