PDE Activity Colorimetric Assay Kit

• Cat.No.: Kit-0668
• Product Overview: PDE Activity Assay Kit (Colorimetric) combines a special dual enzyme system with Green Assay Reagent for phosphate detection to create a unique, non-radioactive, colorimetric assay to detect phosphodiesterase (PDE) activity. This HTS-friendly, mix and read system may be used to screen inhibitors and modulators of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase activity. 96-well microplate format permits rapid assays of large numbers of samples. The basis for the assay is the cleavage of cAMP or cGMP by a cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase. The kit includes a Type I PDE as positive control and a non-specific PDE inhibitor, 2-isobutyl-1-methylzanthine (IBMX) as test control for inhibitor screening.
