Targeting LRRK2 for Parkinson's Disease with the Transcreener® GDP GTPase Assay

Transcreener GDP Assay Kit - FI Readout

The Transcreener GDP Assay Kit with FI readout measures GDP via antibodies selective to GDP and a fluorescent tracer. Enzymatically generated GDP displaces the tracer from an antibody-quencher conjugate, resulting in increased fluorescence. The universal detection method allows screening of virtually any GTPase in a high throughput format. 

The Transcreener Assay offers reagents stability and compatibility with commonly used multimode plate readers. The FI GDP assay kit accommodates GTP concentrations ranging from 0.1 µM to 1,000 µM with excellent data quality (Z' ≥ 0.7) at low substrate conversion ( ≤10%). 

Used in over millions of wells by pharma since 2006, Transcreener is the most extensively validated GDP detection method available backed by the best technical support in the industry. 

This assay is designed to be used with purified enzyme preparations. Transcreener assays are not validated with cell lysates, blood, serum, or other biological samples.

Validation Criteria for Plate Readers

  • 384-Well Format
  • Z'-Factor ≥ 0.7 at 10% conversion of 10 μM ATP
  • Z' specifications to be met using Transcreener ADP2 Assay Reagents
  • Read time to achieve Z' specifications ≤ 5 minutes

Look for these stickers on instruments that have successfully met the validation criteria. 

The instrument validation program is a collaborative effort with the major suppliers of multimode readers to insure that Transcreener assays perform optimally on your specific instrument. Scientists at BellBrook and/or the instrument vendor have tested Transcreener reagents with each instrument to determine optimal filters and settings for maximal assay performance. We provide you with application notes with all the important details, so you can be confident of success using Transcreener assays on the instrument of your choice.
