Protein Kinases as Important Targets in Cancer

Protein kinases are important targets in drug development, particularly in cancer. More and more kinase inhibitors have been developed successfully for targeting kinases in cancer treatment. To understand how potential kinase inhibitors act on their targets, cell-based kinase assays are suitable. Although great progress in measuring kinase activity with purified proteins has been achieved, questions still exist, such as inaccurate disease models or indirect measurements of drug action. Sensitive and accurate results are highly needed.

Cell-based Kinase Assays at Creative Biolabs

Activity measurement by phosphorylation level or by cell survival is two different cell-based kinase assays that we offer. We offer a large selection of tyrosine kinase targets in cell-based assays, as shown in Table 1. Moreover, we also offer a selection of several serine and Threonine kinase targets, as shown in Table 2. Creative Biolabs has developed a 96-well plate-compatible approach to measure kinase activity, which closes up the gap between single target-focused, high-throughput in vitro assays and lower-throughput cell-based experiments following up.

The cell kinase phosphorylation assay has been developed to measure kinase activation directly after treating cells with signal pathway activators. Moreover, we have launched the cell tyrosine kinase receptor activity assay to monitor the activity of the major tyrosine kinase receptor family. Our label-free techniques allow the identification of inhibitors that target the ligand-binding domain or kinase domain, which can be used in almost any cancer cell line or primary cell.

FAQs

What is the main difference between your cell-based kinase assay and a traditional biochemical assay?

A biochemical assay uses a purified enzyme, which provides data on a compound's direct interaction with the target. Our cell-based assay, however, evaluates the compound's effect within a complete cellular system. This approach accounts for factors like a compound's ability to cross the cell membrane and its interaction with other proteins, offering a much more accurate prediction of its in vivo performance.

Can your service be used to study multi-target kinase inhibitors?

Absolutely. Our comprehensive kinome profiling allows you to screen your compounds against a diverse panel of targets. This is especially beneficial for understanding the full therapeutic potential and potential off-target effects of multi-target inhibitors.
