The RIPK1 Kinase Assay Kit is designed to measure RIPK1 kinase activity for screening and profiling applications using ADP-Glo® Kinase Assay as a detection reagent. MBP (Myelin Basic Protein) is a non-specific protein substrate that is used as a "universal substrate" for many in-vitro kinase activity assays. This protein is targeted by many serine/threonine kinases at conserved amino acids. We use the dephosphorylated version of the MBP substrate in our assays to determine the kinase-mediated phosphorylation of MBP. Our assays are not suitable for studying autophosphorylation of the kinase due to the presence of the MBP substrate.

The RIPK1 Kinase Assay Kit comes in a convenient 96-well format, with enough purified recombinant RIPK1 enzyme, RIPK1 substrate, ATP and kinase assay buffer for 100 enzyme reactions.
RIPK1 is a member of the receptor-interacting protein kinase (RIP) family. It plays an important role in cell survival as well as cell death including apoptosis and necroptosis. RIPK1 is highly expressed in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) brains. Importantly, it was shown that inhibition of RIPK1 results in decrease of amyloid and inflammation levels as well as accelerating amyloid beta peptide (Aβ) degradation by microglia in vitro.
