Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Syk Kinase Assay
Description:  Recombinant human Syk (amino acids 342-635) was expressed as a fusion protein with an N-terminal GST tag, affinity-purified and deep-frozen at a concentration of approx. 50-100 μM in storage buffer (25 mM HEPES pH7.5; 25 mM MgCl2; 5 mM MnCl2; 50 mM KCl; 0.2% BSA; 0.01% CHAPS; 100 μM Na3VO4; 0.5 mM DTT, 10% glycerol) at −80° C. until use.The catalytic activity of the GST-Syk kinase fusion protein was determined using the Kinase Glo Luminescence Kinase test (Promega; V6712). In this homogeneous test the amount of ATP remaining after the kinase reaction is quantified by a luciferin-luciferase reaction using luminescence. The luminescence signal obtained correlates with the amount of ATP still present and thus correlates inversely with the activity of the kinase.
