The PRMT5 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. 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.
The PRMT5 Chemiluminescent Assay Kit comes in a convenient format, with a 384-well plate precoated with histone H4 peptide substrate, the antibody against methylated arginine3 residue of Histone H4, the secondary HRP-labeled antibody, S-adenosylmethionine

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.
