UBE1 Inhibitor Screening Assay Kit
The UBE1 Inhibitor Screening Assay Kit is a 96-well format assay designed to measure the activity of the ubiquitin activating enzyme UBE1 for screening and profiling applications, using the Kinase-Glo® MAX as detection reagent. The kit contains enough purified UBE1 protein, Ubiquitin, ATP, and kinase assay buffer for 100 reactions

UBE1 (also known as Ubiquitin Activating enzyme 1, UBA1 or Ubiquitin like modifier Activating enzyme 1) belongs to the family of ubiquitin activating enzymes, responsible for the first reaction in the multi-step protein ubiquitination process. UBE1 forms a thioester bond with ubiquitin in an ATP dependent reaction. In humans only two ubiquitin activating enzymes are known, UBE1 and UBA6 and through their role in the ubiquitination pathway, they are involved in the regulation of several critical cellular processes, such as cell cycle and signal transduction. Mutations in UBE1 have been identified in spinal muscular atrophy and cancer. UBE1 inhibitors can prove crucial for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases and cancer.
