Biological Information

Background Information:

Adenosine 5’-monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a metabolic master switch, activated by exercise and muscle contraction. AMPK phosphorylate key target proteins that control glucose uptake, oxidation of fatty acids, cholesterol synthesis, lipogenesis, triglyceride synthesis, adipocyte lipolysis, glycolysis and nitric oxide synthesis.

Testing Information

Procedure Summary:

AMPK (a2, b1, g1) (h) is incubated with 8 mM MOPS pH 7.0, 0.2 mM EDTA, 200 µM AMP, 100 µM AMARAASAAALARRR, 10 mM MgAcetate and [gamma-33P]-ATP (specific activity and concentration as required). The reaction is initiated by the addition of the Mg/ATP mix. After incubation for 40 minutes at room temperature, the reaction is stopped by the addition of phosphoric acid to a concentration of 0.5%. An aliquot of the reaction is then spotted onto a filter and washed four times for 4 minutes in 0.425% phosphoric acid and once in methanol prior to drying and scintillation counting.

Substrate:

100 µM AMARAASAAALARRR

Tracer:

33P

ATP Concentration:

[ATP]= 10µM (Km= 43.5µM )

Incubation:

40 min at Room temperature

Control Inhibitor:

Staurosporine

Test Sample Requirements:

Please provide compounds dissolved in 100% DMSO (PBS or HBSS prohibited).
Stock solution should be ≥50× the final assay concentration (a 10 mM stock is also acceptable).
Required volume:
– <60 kinase assays: 120 µL of 50× stock
– ≥60 assays: 420 µL of 50× stock
If you supply 10 mM stocks or powder (pre-weighed), we will apply the appropriate conversion.
For batches of ~50 compounds supplied as solids, the TAT will be extended.

Minimum Order Quantity:
