Transcreener® AMP²/GMP² ENPP1 Assay

Targeting Cancer Immunotherapy: Development of an HTS Method Using the Transcreener® ENPP1 Assay

Discover ENPP1 Inhibitors with the Transcreener AMP2/GMP2 Assay

The Transcreener AMP²/GMP² ENPP1 Assay directly measures the GMP and (or) AMP produced by ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 (also known as ENPP1). By measuring the production of AMP and GMP researchers can effectively determine the activity of the ENPP1 enzyme. The assay provides a powerful tool to screen entire compound libraries for ENPP1 modulators to help find new therapeutics for diseases such as cancer.

ENPP1 is Critical for Purinergic Signalling

ENPP1 is a nucleotide pyrophosphatase and phosphodiesterase that regulates purinergic signaling and can degrade different nucleotides including ATP and cGAMP. ENPP1 has been identified as the primary enzyme responsible for degrading cGAMP and therefore is under intense investigation as a therapeutic target for cancer immunotherapy.

Easy-to-Use, Mix-and-Read, HTS-Ready Assay

The Transcreener ENPP1 Assay is in a simple, HTS-ready, mix-and-read format. Run your enzyme reaction, add Transcreener reagents, and read your plates. The assay is compatible with 96, 384, and 1536-well formats.

Detection of AMP and GMP Under ENPP1 Initial Velocity

The assay demonstrates linearity when raw data is converted to AMP using a standard curve. ENPP1 can use a variety of substrates. Here both ATP and cGAMP have been tested. ATP is shown here under initial velocity conditions.

Hydrolysis of cGAMP by ENPP1

Titration of ENPP1 in the presence of 10 µM cGAMP was done to determine 1 pM ENPP1 to be used for assay with cGAMP. Titration of cGAMP with ENPP1 shows the EC50 to be around 80 nM.

Screen for Inhibitors & Perform SAR

Transcreener Assays are designed for screening compound libraries in a high throughput format. Follow up SAR can also be performed using the assay to determine inhibitor potency with ease.

Robust Assay Yields Quality Data

Z’ measurements using optimized ENPP1 reaction conditions indicate a robust assay.  Robust data like this is vital for sizeable high throughput screens that are difficult to complete due to massive sample quantity. Z' shown here = 0.72
