PDE4D3 TR-FRET Assay Kit

• Cat.No.: Kit-1843
• Product Overview: Phosphodiesterases (PDEs) play an important role in dynamic regulation of cAMP and cGMP signaling. PDE4D is a regulator of airway smooth-muscle contractility, and has been identified as a potential risk predictor for ischemic stroke. Additionally, PDE4D has been associated with asthma pathophysiology and bone formation. The PDE4D gene encodes at least 9 different isoforms. The assay is based on the generation of FAM-labeled nucleotide monophosphates by the phosphodiesterase. These phosphate groups bind to terbium-labeled nanoparticles, resulting in energy transfer from the terbium to the FAM, which emits a fluorescent signal at 520 nm. The change in fluorescent intensity can be easily measured using a fluorescence plate reader.
