Reporter Assays

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...

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...

The principle application of this assay product is in the screening of test samples to quantify functional activities, either agonist or antagonist. This kit product is an all-inclusive assay system that includes, in addition to Reporter Cells, two optimized media for use during cell culture and (optionally) in...

Cayman's reverse transfection reporter assays have overcome many of the disadvantages of other transfection approaches. In this method, a proprietary transfection complex containing DNA and an optimized mixture of lipids and proteins has been evenly applied and processed on the culture surface of multi-well plates....

Protein Function: Transcription factor that binds to purine-rich DNA sequences (PubMed:10799319, PubMed:7889942). Forms a ternary complex with SRF and the ETS and SRF motifs of the serum response element (SRE) on the promoter region of immediate early genes such as FOS and IER2 (PubMed:1630903). Induces target gene...

Protein Function: Tyrosine-protein kinase that acts as a cell-surface receptor for homodimeric PDGFB and PDGFD and for heterodimers formed by PDGFA and PDGFB, and plays an essential role in the regulation of embryonic development, cell proliferation, survival, differentiation, chemotaxis and migration. Plays an...

Protein Function: This is a receptor for GIP. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylyl cyclase [The Uniprot Consortium]

Protein Function: Receptor for MSH (alpha, beta and gamma) and ACTH (PubMed:11442765, PubMed:11707265, PubMed:1325670, PubMed:1516719, PubMed:8463333). The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylate cyclase (PubMed:11707265, PubMed:1325670, PubMed:16463023, PubMed:19737927)....

Protein Function: Transcription factor that binds to purine-rich DNA sequences. Forms a ternary complex with SRF and the ETS and SRF motifs of the serum response element (SRE) on the promoter region of immediate early genes such as FOS and IER2 (By similarity). Induces target gene transcription upon JNK and...

Protein Function: Hormone receptor that acts as a key component of the leptin-melanocortin pathway at the intersection of homeostatic maintenance of energetic state (PubMed:32327598, PubMed:33858992). Plays a role in regulating food intake: activation by a stimulating hormone such as anorexigenic alpha-melanocyte...

Protein Function: Receptor for MSH (alpha, beta and gamma) and ACTH. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylate cyclase. This receptor is a possible mediator of the immunomodulation properties of melanocortins [The Uniprot Consortium]
