Background
The transforming growth factor beta (TGFB) signaling pathway regulates a wide range of biological and cellular processes including cell growth, differentiation, survival/apoptosis, and migration. TGFβ binds to a type II receptor dimer, which recruits a type I receptor dimer forming a hetero-tetrameric complex. The TGFβ receptor is a transmembrane serine/threonine kinase that phosphorylates proteins of the SMAD (Mothers against decapentaplegic homolog) family. Due to its role in immunosuppression, cancer, and inflammatory diseases, among others, this receptor is an attractive therapeutic target.
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 (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.
