KinaSorb™, kinase enrichment reagent kit

MONMOUTH JUNCTION, N.J. - March 1, 2014 - PRLog -- MONMOUTH JUNCTION, NJ – Kinase research on identifying druggable kinome modulating activity using small molecule kinase inhibitors, cyclic inhibitors and binding non-ATP sites requires proper sample preparation. Enrichment of kinases using KinaSorb™ provides samples ready for biochemical and cell-based assays.

KinaSorb™ is a new reagent kit used for the enrichment and isolation of kinases. In a patent pending process, ATP – the common substrate for kinases, is reversibly immobilized to metallic oxide particles, producing a single-use highly efficient enrichment method for kinase & other ATP binding proteins. The standard prep protocol starts with 100 µl of clarified cellular extracts, or approximately 2 mg total cellular extract protein, but the process can be scaled up or down to accommodate different sample volumes and protein concentrations. The methods are reasonably specific to ATP; little phosphodiesterase activity (an enzyme which binds to a structurally similar adenosine containing substrate - CAMP), was measured in the eluant after KinaSorb™ treatment. The kit includes all necessary reagents for immediate use.

Kinase assay detection kits benefit from enrichment protocols from samples of purified enzymes, cell lysates, tissue homogenates, cell extracts. The enriched kinases are subsequently used for various applications including:

Kinase assay protocol development of PKA, PKC and PTK from heart, spleen, lymphocytes, skin, lung &  fibroblasts (various 3T3 lines), promyelocytic cells (HL-60 and U937) and neuron-like cell lines (PC12).

Kinase activity measurement and probe labeling

Method development of buffer composition, ATP binding proteins, quantification of enriched kinases eg: multiple-reaction monitoring mass spectrometry (MRM-MS) assays

Kinase experiments on cell lines eg: A375, A549, HUH7, MDA-MB-231, Jurkat, Ramos, THP1, Hel, HeLa, HL60, NIH3T3, OVCAR3. Kinase experiments on tissues: human PBMC, mouse brain, mouse liver, mouse spleen, mouse lung, rat brain, rat white blood cells.
