The SUV39H1 Chemiluminescent Assay Kit is designed to measure SUV39H1 activity for screening and profiling applications. The key to the SUV39H1 Chemiluminescent Assay Kit is a highly specific antibody that recognizes methylated K9 residue of Histone H3. With this kit, only three simple steps 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 ELISA ECL substrate to produce chemiluminescence that can then be measured using a chemiluminescence reader.
The SUV39H1 Chemiluminescent Assay Kit comes in a convenient format, with a 96-well strip plate precoated with histone H3 peptide substrate, primary antibody against methylated lysine residue of Histone H3, secondary HRP-labeled antibody, S-adenosylmethionine, methyltransferase assay buffer, and purified SUV39H1 enzyme for 96 enzyme reactions.

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.
