IGF1R Functional Assay Kit

• Cat.No.: Kit-1600
• Product Overview: RTK Functional cell lines are engineered to co-a ProLink (PK) tagged RTK, an Enzyme Acceptor (EA) tagged SH2 domain, and, in some cases, an untagged co-receptor. Activation of the RTK-PK induces receptor dimerization, leading to SH2-EA recruitment, and forcing complementation of the two β-galactosidase enzyme fragments (EA and PK). The resulting functional enzyme hydrolyzes substrate to generate a chemiluminescent signal. These cells have been modified to prevent long term propagation and expansion using a proprietary compound that has no apparent effect on assay performance.
