The PRMT5 Direct Activity Chemiluminescent Assay Kit is designed to measure PRMT5 activity for screening and profiling applications. The key to the PRMT5 Chemiluminescent Assay Kit is a highly specific antibody that recognizes methylated R3 residue of Histone H4. With this kit, only three simple steps on a microtiter plate are required for methyltransferase detection. First, S-adenosylmethionine is incubated with a sample containing assay buffer and methyltransferase enzyme for one hour. Next, primary antibody is added. Finally, the plate is treated with an HRP-labeled secondary antibody followed by addition of the HRP substrate to produce chemiluminescence that can then be measured using a chemiluminescence reader.

PRMT5, HRMT1L5, IBP72, JBP1, SKB1

Kit comes in a convenient format, with a 96-well plate precoated with histone H4 peptide substrate, reagents, and purified PRMT5 enzyme for 100 enzyme reactions.

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

COMPONENTS:

See assay kit data sheet for detailed protocol.

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.

Great for studying enzyme kinetics and screening small molecular inhibitors for drug discovery and HTS applications.

Since May of 2017, this kit has been improved with a more specific antibody and reformulated buffers. The previous version of PRMT kit #52002L can still be purchased upon special request.

Avoid freeze/thaw cycles.
