Non-radioactive protein kinase assay provides rapid and sensitive detection
- Safe and non-radioactive colorimetric measurement of kinase activity
- Flexible format, kinetic and end-point options available
- Fast results in < 4.5 hours
- Efficiency maximized with only 30 µl diluted sample needed per well
The PKA Kinase activity kit is an efficient assay that utilizes little sample volume. This kit gives you the ability to an end-point or kinetic assay read-out in a convenient 96-well plate based assay and offers easy sample handling protocols. The assay also offers a high signal to background ratio.
PKA (Protein Kinase A), also known as cAMP-dependent protein kinase, phosphorylates serine or threonine residues in target protein in response to elevated levels of cAMP. Inactive PKA exists as a tetrameric protein composed of two regulatory (R) subunits and two catalytic (C) subunits. Activation occurs when two cAMP molecules bind to each R subunit which causes a conformational change that releases the active C subunits.
