Background
Tankyrase 1, also known as PARP5A (poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 5a), belongs to the poly-ADP-ribosyltransferase family. It is involved in Wnt signaling, where it acts as an activator by interacting and poly-ADP-ribosylate AXIN1 and AXIN2 (negative regulators of Wnt pathway). Tankyrase also mediates PARsylation of TERF1 (telomeric repeat binding factor 1), inhibiting its binding to telomeric DNA and regulating its telomere length. Inhibitors targeting tankyrase are thus attractive molecules in cancer therapy.
Storage/Stability
At least 6 months at -80°C.
Assay Conditions
Enzyme reaction is conducted using the TNKS1 Histone Ribosylation Assay Kit (Biotin-labeled NAD+) (BPS Bioscience #80573) with TNKS1 titrated from 100 ng/rxn – 1.6 ng/rxn.
Instructions for Use
Thaw on ice and gently mix prior to use. DO NOT VORTEX. Perform a quick spin before opening. Aliquot into small volumes and flash freeze for long term storage. Avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles.
Applications
Useful for the study of enzyme kinetics, screening inhibitors, and selectivity profiling.
