Applicazioni

The kit is used for the detection of DHFR activity and screening of DHFR inhibitors. The assay is based on the ability of DHFR to catalyze the reversible NADPH-dependent reduction of dihydrofolic acid to tetrahydrofolic acid. The reaction progress is followed by monitoring the decrease in absorbance at 340 nm.
Dihydrofolic acid+NADPH+H+ ↔ Tetrahydrofolic acid+NADP+

Azioni biochim/fisiol

DHFR (dihydrofolate reductase) is an enzyme that catalyzes a reaction essential for the biosynthesis of nucleotidic bases of DNA. Blocking the enzyme causes cell death as a result of DNA synthesis inhibition. DHFR is an excellent target for anti-tumor drugs.

Caratteristiche e vantaggi

  • Quick and simple method.
  • The kit contains all the reagents required for a colorimetric assay of DHFR activity in cell lysates, tissue homogenates, or column fractions of purified enzyme.
  • The kit includes a purified enzyme for use as a positive control and screening of DHFR inhibitors.
  • The kit includes methotrexate (MTX), a prokaryotic and eukaryotic DHFR specific inhibitor, which exhibits anti-tumor activities.
  • The kit was tested on A431, NIH-3T3, and CHO cell lines, rat liver, kidney, brain, and skeletal muscle tissue extracts, and recombinant DHFR.
