PDE4C1 Human Phosphodiesterase Enzymatic LeadHunter Assay - TW

Procedure Summary:

Human recombinant PDE4C1 expressed in insect Sf9 cells are used. Test compound and/or vehicle is preincubated with 8 ng/ml enzymeǂ in Tris-HCl buffer pH 7.2 for 15 minutes at 25°C. The reaction is initiated by addition of 100 nM FAM-cAMP for another 30 minutes incubation period and terminated by addition of IMAP binding solution. IMAP complexes with phosphate groups on nucleotide monophosphate generated from cyclic nucleotides through PDE activity. Determination of the amount of complex formed is read spectrofluorimetrically at 470 nm/525 nm. Compounds are screened at 10 μM.
