PKC beta II Kinase Enzyme System

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 PKC?II Kinase Enzyme System contains:

• PKC?II Kinase, 10ug (Human, recombinant full-length). MW: ~105kDa.
• CREBtide (KRREILSRRPSYR) Substrate; derived from human CREB1 isoform A (amino acid 109–121).
• Reaction Buffer, DTT, Lipid solution.

Recombinant full-length human PKC beta II (PKC?II) was expressed by baculovirus in Sf9 insect cells using an N-terminal GST tag. PKC?II is a member of the protein kinase C (PKC) family of serine- and threonine-specific protein kinases that can be activated by calcium and second messenger, diacylglycerol, and phosphorylate a wide variety of protein targets known to be involved in diverse cellular signaling pathways. PKC?II has been reported to be involved in many different cellular functions such as B cell activation, apoptosis induction, endothelial cell proliferation and intestinal sugar absorption.

The PKC?II 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.
