Description
Transglutaminase Activity Assay Kit
Assay principle
Transglutaminases catalyze acyl transfer reactions from glutamine residues in proteins or peptides to primary amines. The transglutaminase-catayzed covalent coupling of monodansylcadaverine into N,N-dimethylcasein produces a shift in intensity and wavelength of fluorescence of the dansyl group. The transglutaminase activity can be monitored online by measurement of the fluorescence (excitation wavelength 332 nm; emission wavelength 500 nm). The relative transglutaminase activity is shown by increase of fluorescence intensity over time.
Reagents in the kit
(1) SUBSTRATE REAGENT: 2 x 0,185 mg monodansylcadaverine
(2) BUFFER REAGENT: 2 x 20 ml lyophilized TRIS buffer pH 8,0 containing calcium chloride, sodium chloride, N,N-dimethylcasein, glutathione.
Equipment
The Fluorescent Transglutaminase Assay can be used in standard fluorescence spectrophotometers. Refer to the instructions of the manufacturer.
Intended use
Determination of transglutaminase activity (hTG1, hTG2, hTG6).
