Protein phosphorylation is one of the most important post-translational modification processes. Phosphorylation is reversibly regulated by Protein Kinases (PKs) and Protein Phosphatases (PTPs). PTP1B (PTPN1) is known to catalyze dephosphorylation of insulin receptor kinases and plays a critical role in insulin signaling. The PTP1B (Catalytic Domain) Colorimetric Assay Kit is designed to measure PTP1B activity for screening and profiling applications, in a homogeneous assay with no time-consuming washing steps. The PTP1B assay kit comes in a convenient 96-well format, with purified PTP1B enzyme, colorimetric substrate, and PTP assay buffer for 100 enzyme reactions. The PTP1B (Catalytic Domain) Colorimetric Assay Kit is optimized for both continuous and end-point assay formats.

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.
