51056 SetDB1 Chemiluminescent Assay Kit

Catalog #51056

Size: 96 reactions
Description
The SetDB1 Chemiluminescent Assay Kit is designed to measure SetDB1 activity for screening and profiling applications. The key to the SetDB1 Direct Activity Assay Kit is a highly specific antibody that recognizes the methylated K9 residue of Histone H3. With this kit, only three simple steps are required for methyltransferase detection. First, S-adenosylmethionine is incubated with a sample containing assay buffer and methyltransferase enzyme. Next, primary antibody is added. Finally, the strips are treated with an HRP-labeled secondary antibody followed by addition of the HRP substrate to produce chemiluminescence that can then be measured using a chemiluminescence reader.
