Background
ROCK2, an isoform of ROCK1, is a serine/threonine kinase target of small GTPase Rho that regulates the formation of actin stress fibers and focal adhesions, cytokinesis, and smooth muscle contraction. It is therefore important to proper vascular function and is involved in a number of fibrotic pathologies. The ROCK2 inhibitor Fasudil has been investigated for the treatment of cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM), which causes brain hemorrhages, and is in clinical trials for other applications such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Belumosudil, a newer ROCK2 inhibitor, was approved by the FDA for chronic graft versus host disease in 2021.
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 molecular inhibitors for drug discovery and high throughput (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.
