The Fluorogenic SIRT5 Assay Kit is a complete assay system designed to measure SIRT5 activity for screening and profiling applications. The Fluorogenic SIRT5 Assay Kit is based on a unique fluorogenic substrate and developer combination. This assay method eliminates dealing with the radioactivity, extraction, and chromatography aspects of traditional assays. Using this kit, only three simple steps on a microtiter plate are needed to analyze the SIRT5 activity level. First, the Sirtuin 5 fluorometric substrate (SIRT substrate 5), containing a succinylated lysine side chain, is incubated with purified SIRT5 enzyme. The desuccinylation sensitizes the substrate so subsequent treatment with the Lysine Developer produces a fluorophore that can then be measured using a fluorescence reader.
The Fluorogenic SIRT5 Assay Kit comes in a convenient 96-well format, with all the reagents necessary for 100 fluorescent SIRT5 activity measurements.

Disclaimers and Limitations
BPS Bioscience assay kits are validated using the listed components according to our specific protocol. Any deviations to kit components or protocols, such as using different proteins, cell/tissue lysates, or buffers (including using the same component from other commercial sources) will void any warranties on the performance of the assay kit and is not recommended.
End-users should immediately report any issues to [email protected] upon receipt of the kit, such as missing components, damaged vials, no dry ice, etc.
