Product Overview :
Phosphodiesterases (PDEs) play an important role in dynamic regulation of cAMP and cGMP signaling. PDE1C is a calmodulin-dependent PDE that is expressed principally in human myocardium.
Description :
The PDE1C Assay Kit is designed for identification of PDE1C inhibitors using fluorescence polarization. The assay is based on the binding of a fluorescent nucleotide monophosphate generated by PDE1C to the binding agent. The key to the PDE1C Assay Kit is the specific binding agent. Using this kit, only two simple steps on a microtiter plate are required for PDE1C reactions. First, the fluorescently labeled cAMP is incubated with a sample containing PDE1C for 1 hour. Second, a binding agent is added to the reaction mix to produce a change in fluorescent polarization that can then be measured using a fluorescence reader.
Applications :
Great for studying enzyme kinetics and screening small molecular inhibitors for drug discovery and HTS applications.
Storage :
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.
