Short Description
Quantifies phosphorylated SHP2 (Y542) levels in cell lysates using a sandwich ELISA method.
Development Stage
Research-Grade Signal Pathway Assay Development
Description
The SigPath™ Human SHP2 (Y542) Phosphorylation ELISA Kit offers a rapid, high-throughput solution for quantifying phosphorylated SHP2 in cultured cells without requiring lysate preparation. By normalizing phosphorylation levels to total protein content in the same well, it ensures high accuracy for screening drug candidates, siRNA, or pathway activators in signal transduction research.
Features
Superior Analytical Sensitivity: Employs advanced chemiluminescent or colorimetric substrates to detect endogenous p-SHP2 levels in minimal sample volumes with high signal-to-noise ratios.
Validated Phospho-Specificity: Utilizes high-affinity capture/detection antibody pairs rigorously screened for zero cross-reactivity with non-phosphorylated SHP2 or related protein tyrosine phosphatases.
Streamlined High-Throughput Format: Optimized 96-well microplate architecture facilitates rapid screening of multiple experimental conditions or drug candidates in a single assay run.
Comprehensive Reagent Integration: Includes pre-coated plates, lysis buffers, and standardized controls to ensure maximal reproducibility and minimized intra-assay coefficient of variation.
Process Relevance
Quantifying p-SHP2 (Y542) levels enables precise monitoring of phosphatase activation to evaluate kinase inhibitor efficacy and signal modulation.
Application Stage
Drug discovery, lead optimization, clinical biomarker validation, and longitudinal cell-based signaling studies.
Applications
