Immunogen Region
full length
Tag
N-terminal His-tag
Formulation
25 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, 100 mM NaCl, 0.05% Tween-20, 50% glycerol, and 3 mM DTT.
Species
Mouse
Application
Useful for the study of enzyme kinetics, screening inhibitors, and selectivity profiling
Notes
Sphingosine kinase activity was determined using D-erythro-sphingosine and ATP as substrates. Assay condition: 50 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT, 3 uM Na orthovanadate, 0.5 mM ATP, 4 uM D-erythrosphingosine, and 0.1-0.5 ug/ml sphingosine kinase 1 at 37°C for 30 min. ATP reduction is detected using Kinase-Glo Luminescent Kinase Assay Platform (Promega Corporation, Madison, WI).
Avoid freeze/thaw cycles.
