| Cat.No.: | Kit-1782 |
| Product Overview: | L-tryptophan (L-Trp) is an essential amino acid necessary for protein synthesis in mammalian cells and the L-Trp to kynurenine (Kyn) pathway is firmly established as a key regulator of innate and adaptive immunity. Catabolism of L-Trp to Kyn maintains an immunosuppressive microenvironment by starving immune cells of L-Trp and releasing degradation products of L-Trp that have immunosuppressive functions. Indoleamine 2,3- dioxygenases (IDO1 & IDO2), two of the rate limiting enzymes in this pathway, are upregulated in many tumors, providing cancer cells with an avenue for immune evasion. |
| Size: | 96 reactions |
| Description: | The Mouse IDO1 Inhibitor Screening Assay Kit is designed to measure inhibition of the murine IDO1 enzyme. This kit is simple to use. Inhibitor and enzyme are added to a sample containing L-Trp substrate. After a room temperature incubation, activity is determined by measuring the absorption of reaction product at l=320-325 nm. |
| Applications: | Useful for the study of mouse IDO1 enzymology, screening inhibitors and selectivity profiling. |
| Storage: | Stable at least 6 months from date of receipt, when stored as directed. Kit components require different storage conditions. Be sure to store each component at the proper temperature upon arrival. |
| Kit Components: | Mouse IDO1 His-Tag: 40 µg; -80°C IDO Reaction Solution: 2 x 10 mL; -80°C IDO1 Assay Buffer: 1 mL; -80°C UV transparent 96-well plate: 1; Room Temp. |
