Description

The TYR Phosphorylation Assay Kit is designed for measuring TYR (tyrosine) phosphorylation and screening and profiling small molecules that affect it. This kit comes in a convenient 96-well format, with enough antibody specific for phosphorylated TYR residues, HRP-labeled antibody and assay buffer for 100 reactions. This kit also includes phosphorylated JAK2 (Janus kinase 2) as standard control.

Background

TYR (tyrosine) phosphorylation is a modification of proteins where a phosphate group is added to the amino acid tyrosine by tyrosine kinases. This modification is crucial to regulate enzyme activity and signaling pathways, such as the Ras-MAPK (mitogen activated protein kinase) signaling pathway, and is needed for proteins involved in cell differentiation, cell cycle, gene regulation and transcription, angiogenesis and many other functions. Tyrosine kinases can be receptor or non-receptor, with RTK (receptor tyrosine kinases) being transmembrane proteins that can bind ligands extracellularly, while NRTK are mostly soluble intracellular proteins. Tyrosine phosphorylation can be reverted by PTPs (tyrosine phosphatases). Abnormal tyrosine phosphorylation is linked to several diseases, such as cancer and diabetes. An understanding of the TYR phosphorylation state of a protein and how to manipulate it, via the partners involved, is critical for the development of targeted therapies for tyrosine phosphorylation linked diseases.
