Recombinant full-length human PKCμ was expressed by baculovirus in Sf9 insect cells using an N-terminal GST tag. Protein Kinase C mu is a member of the protein kinase C (PKC) family that differs from the other PKC isoenzymes in structural and enzymatic properties. PKCμ is ubiquitous in nature with the highest expression in the thymus, lung and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (1). PKCμ forms a complex in vivo with a phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase and a phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinase. A region of PKCμ between the amino-terminal transmembrane domain and the pleckstrin homology domain is shown to be involved in the association with the lipid kinases (2).
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 chemical compounds have 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.
Kinase Enzyme System contains: Kinase: PKCμ, 10μg (Human, recombinant full-length). MW: ~131kDa. Substrate: CREBtide (KRREILSRRPSYR); derived from human CREB1 isoform A (amino acids 109–121). Other: Reaction Buffer, DTT.
Profile More Compounds In-House: ADP-Glo™ Kinase Assay + Kinase Enzyme System is optimized so that you are up and running in no time. Complete Systems: The Kinase Enzyme Systems include a recombinant kinase enzyme, a substrate appropriate for the enzyme, a reaction buffer, DTT and supplemental reagents as needed. Obtain Reliable Results: The broad dynamic range, the ease of use and better sensitivity obtained with ADP-Glo™ Kinase Assay result in less ambiguous data.
