Cat.No. :	Kit-1832
Product Overview :	Phosphodiesterases (PDEs) play an important role in dynamic regulation of cAMP and cGMP signaling. PDE2A, also known as cGMP-stimulated phosphodiesterase, hydrolyzes cyclic nucleotides cAMP (Km = 2.4 µM) and cGMP, and is involved in the regulation of blood pressure and fluid homeostasis. Phosphodiesterases catalyze the hydrolysis of the phosphodiester bond in dye-labeled cyclic monophosphates. Beads selectively bind the phosphate group in the nucleotide product. This increases the size of the nucleotide relative to unreacted cyclic monophosphate. In the polarization assay, dye molecules with absorption transition vectors parallel to the linearly-polarized excitation light are selectively excited. Dyes attached to the rapidly-rotating cyclic monophosphates will obtain random orientations and emit light with low polarization. Dyes attached to the slowly-rotating nucleotide-bead complexes will not have time to reorient and therefore will emit highly polarized light.
Size :	96 reactions
Applications :	Great for studying enzyme kinetics and screening small molecular inhibitors for drug discovery and HTS applications.
Storage :	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.
