Recombinant human TGFβR1 (ALK5) (80–end) was expressed by baculovirus in Sf9 insect cells using an N-terminal GST tag. TGFβR1 or transforming growth factor beta-receptor 1 is a member of the TGFβ receptor subfamily and is a ser/thr protein kinase that forms a heteromeric complex with type II TGFβ receptors when bound to TGFβ, transducing the TGFβ signal from the cell surface to the cytoplasm. Mutations in the TGFβR1 gene have been associated with Marfan syndrome, Loeys-Deitz Aortic Aneurysm Syndrome and the development of various types of tumors (1). TGFβR1-dependent signaling is required for angiogenesis but not for the development of hematopoietic progenitor cells and functional hematopoiesis (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: TGFβR1, 10μg (Human, recombinant; amino acids 80–end). MW: ~66kDa. Substrate: TGFBR1 Peptide (KKKVLTQMGSPSIRC-S(pS)VS); derived from human SMAD3 (215–230). 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.
