Description
JAK2 JH2 Pseudokinase Domain Inhibitor Screening Assay Kit | 78111 | Gentaur US, UK & Europe Disrtribition
Category: Kinase/Assay Kit
Application: This kit is useful for screening for small molecules displacing the JH2 probe 1 from the ATP binding site of JAK2 JH2 domain.
Background: Janus kinases (JAKs) are a family of intracellular nonreceptor tyrosine kinases including JAK1, JAK2, JAK3 and Tyk2, that has been recognized as an important modulator in inflammatory processes. JAKs contain a catalytically inactive pseudokinase regulatory domain (JH2) as well as an active kinase domain (JH1). Selective inhibition of one specific JAK is a challenging task since the enzymes share high homology in the active site of JH1. Recent reports demonstrate that the pseudokinase domain (JH2) could provide an ideal allosteric site for selective inhibitor development.
Description: The JAK2 JH2 Pseudokinase Domain Inhibitor Screening Assay Kit is designed for screening and profiling small molecules that displace the fluorescently labeled probe (JH2 probe 1) from the JH2 domain of JAK2. The assay is based on the competition of the test compound with the JH2 probe for binding to purified JAK2 JH2. Using this kit, only one simple step on a microplate is required for screening. The JH2 probe 1 is incubated with a sample containing JAK2 JH2 to produce a change in fluorescent polarization that can then be measured using a fluorescence reader.
