The FTO Chemiluminescent Assay Kit is designed to measure FTO activity for screening and profiling applications. The key to the FTO Chemiluminescent Assay Kit is a highly specific antibody that recognizes methylated substrate. Signal is inversely related to the activity. With this kit, only three simple steps on a microtiter plate are required for detection of demethylase activity. First, FTO enzyme is incubated with the substrate. Next, primary antibody is added. Finally, the plate is treated with an HRPlabeled secondary antibody followed by the addition of the HRP substrate to produce chemiluminescence that can be measured using a chemiluminescence reader.

The FTO Chemiluminescent Assay Kit comes in a convenient format, with a 96-well strip plate precoated with methylated FTO substrate, primary antibody, the secondary HRP-labeled antibody, demethylase assay buffer, and purified FTO for 96 enzyme reactions.

DMSO >1%, strong acids or bases, ionic detergents, high salt

COMPONENTS:

*Make sure you are working in RNAse-free conditions

See assay kit data sheet for detailed protocol.

Stable 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.

Great for studying enzyme kinetics and HTS applications.
