Product Overview :
PRMT8 is a histone methyltransferase that exhibits methylation activity toward histones H2A and H4.
Description :
The PRMT8 Homogeneous Assay Kit is designed to measure the activity of PRMT8 for screening and profiling applications, using AlphaLISA technology. The key to the PRMT8 Homogeneous Assay Kit is a highly specific antibody that recognizes methylated substrate. With this kit, only three simple steps on a microtiter plate are required for methyltransferase detection. First, a sample containing PRMT8 enzyme is incubated with the biotinylated substrate for one hour. Next, acceptor beads and primary antibody are added, then donor beads, followed by reading the Alpha-counts.
Applications :
Great for studying enzyme kinetics and screening small molecular inhibitors for drug discovery and HTS applications.
Storage :
12 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.
