Product Overview :
p56Lck Kinase (Human) Assay/Inhibitor Screening Assay Kit is a single-site, non-quantitative immunoassay for kinase activity of recombinant catalytic domain of Lck. Plates are pre-coated with a newly designed "Tyrosine kinase-binding module-1", which can easily bind recombinant catalytic domain of Lck, subsequently activate Lck kinase activity on a microtiter plate. The detector antibody is PY-39, an antibody that specifically detects the phosphotyrosine residue on recombinant catalytic domain of Lck itself, which means that this kit measures the intensity of autophosphorylation of Lck catalytic domain.
Description :
Lck is a 56-kDa protein tyrosine kinase that is predominantly expressed in T lymphocytes. A member of the Src kinase family, it has a unique N-terminal region followed by SH3, SH2, and catalytic domains. Lck is an important protein tyrosine kinase in lymphocytes; its overexpression renders T cells hypersensitive to antigen stimulation, and an Lck-deficient T cell line, J.CaM1, exhibits dramatically reduced protein tyrosine phosphorylation following T cell receptor (TCR) cross-linking. Furthermore, genetic experiments have shown that mice deficient in Lck or expressing a dominant-negative mutant form of Lck exhibit a severe defect in T cell maturation. Lck is localized to the membrane through myristylation and palmitylation and a portion of cellular Lck associates with the cytoplasmic tail of CD4 via cysteine residues. CD4 binds to class II major histocompatibility complex molecules on antigen-presenting cells, and this interaction between CD4 and major histocompatibility complex activates Lck, perhaps through conformational changes. The Lck associated with CD4 propagates key biochemical signals in CD4 co-receptor function. Like all Src family kinases, Lck is activated and inhibited by tyrosine phosphorylation, Tyr-394 is the site of stimulatory phosphorylation, whereas Tyr-505 is the site of inhibitory phosphorylation.
Applications :
1) Screening inhibitors or activators of recombinant catalytic domain of Lck.2) Detecting the effects of pharmacological agents on recombinant catalytic domain of Lck.
