Background
Breast Tumor Kinase (BRK, also known as Tyrosine-protein kinase-6 or PKT6) is a non-receptor protein with tyrosine kinase activity. BRK is involved in epithelial differentiation and apoptosis. It interacts with multiple proteins and is involved in several signaling pathways, like activating STAT3 and STAT5B to promote cell proliferation. It is involved in cancer progression, migration and evasion, namely in breast cancer. Targeting BRK kinase activity via small molecule inhibitors may be a viable therapeutic approach for breast cancer.
Storage/Stability
This assay kit will perform optimally for up to 6 months from date of receipt when the materials are stored as directed.
Applications
Study enzyme kinetics and screen small molecule inhibitors for drug discovery and high throughput screening (HTS) applications.
The final concentration of DMSO in the assay should not exceed 1%.
Warnings
Avoid freeze/thaw cycles
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.
