Reporter Assays

Secreted alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) is commonly used as a reporter of gene expression. Compared to other conventional intracellular reporters such as chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) and firefly luciferase, SEAP has the advantage of being secreted from transfected cells into the culture medium. Cayman's...

The One-Step Luciferase Assay System is designed to be used for high-throughput, sensitive quantitation of firefly luciferase activity in mammalian cell culture. The reagent consists of two components, a Luciferase Reagent Buffer (Component A) and Luciferase Reagent Substrate (Component B). Component A and Component...

This nuclear receptor assay system utilizes proprietary non-human mammalian cells engineered to provide constitutive, high-level expression of full-length, unmodified human androgen receptor (NR3C4), a ligand-dependent transcription factor commonly referred to as AR. INDIGO's reporter cells include the luciferase...

Notch Pathway Reporter kit is designed for monitoring the activity of Notch signaling pathway in the cultured cells. The kit contains the transfection-ready Notch1 NICD expression vector and CSL (CBF1/RBP-Jkappa) luciferase reporter vector, which is a Notch pathway-responsive reporter. This reporter contains a...

The TCF/LEF Reporter kit is designed for monitoring the activity of Wnt / b-catenin signaling pathway in the cultured cells. The kit contains transfection-ready TCF/LEF luciferase reporter vector, which is a Wnt pathway- responsive reporter. This reporter contains a firefly luciferase gene under the control of...

This human RAR-related orphan receptor gamma (RORgamma) mRNA is expressed from the RORC gene in two forms via alternate usage of tissue-specific promoters. Variant 1 mRNA is expressed in numerous tissues, and encodes receptor isoform 1, referred to as RORgamma. Variant 2 mRNA comprises an alternate exon 1 that...

Protein function: Receptor tyrosine kinase binding ligands of the EGF family and activating several signaling cascades to convert extracellular cues into appropriate cellular responses (PubMed:2790960, PubMed:10805725, PubMed:27153536). Known ligands include EGF, TGFA/TGF-alpha, AREG, epigen/EPGN, BTC/betacellulin,...

This nuclear receptor assay system utilizes proprietary non-human cells engineered to provide constitutive, high-level expression of the human peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (NR1C3), a ligand-dependent transcription factor commonly referred to as PPARG or PPARgamma. INDIGO's reporter cells include...

This nuclear receptor assay system utilizes proprietary non-human cells engineered to provide constitutive, high-level expression of the full-length human estrogen receptor 1 (NR3A1), a ligand-dependent transcription factor commonly referred to as ERalpha. INDIGO's reporter cells include the luciferase reporter gene...

Protein function: Nuclear receptor that binds and is activated by variety of endogenous and xenobiotic compounds. Transcription factor that activates the transcription of multiple genes involved in the metabolism and secretion of potentially harmful xenobiotics, drugs and endogenous compounds. Activated by the...

This nuclear receptor assay system utilizes proprietary non-human cells engineered to provide constitutive, high-level expression of the human retinoic acid receptor, beta (NR1B2), a ligand-dependent transcription factor commonly referred to as RARB or RARbeta. INDIGO's reporter cells include the luciferase reporter...

The MAPK/ERK signaling pathway is a major participant in the regulation of cell growth and differentiation. It can be activated by various extracellular stimuli including mitogens, growth factors, and cytokines. Upon stimulation, MEK1/2 phosphorylate and activate ERK1/2. The activated ERK translocates to the nucleus...
