RIPK2 Assay - A Transcreener ADP2 Assay Application

Transcreener ADP² Assay directly measures ADP produced by RIPK2 (Receptor-Interacting Serine/Threonine Protein Kinases) to measure enzymatic activity. RIPK2 inhibitors are promising targets for many autoinflammatory diseases and cancers. This assay provides a powerful tool to screen compound libraries for RIPK2 modulators to help find new disease therapies.

The kit comes complete with the detection reagents required to measure activity. RIPK2 enzyme is not included in the inhibitor screening assay kit. Please contact us for questions related to acquiring the enzyme.

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.

How Does This RIPK2 Assay Work?

The Transcreener RIPK2 Assay determines RIPK2 activity by directly measuring the ADP formed by the enzyme using the Transcreener ADP Assay. By detecting ADP output, the assay provides a universal method to assess the activity of any ADP-producing enzyme in real-time. 

Transcreener RIPK2 Assay technology uses a simple but highly effective method that consists of an antibody selective to ADP over ATP and a far-red fluorescent tracer. ADP produced in the reaction competes with the tracer changing the fluorescent properties and providing fluorescent readout.

The RIPK2 assay is available with FP, FI, and TR-FRET. It is a simple mix-and-read format. Perform your enzyme reaction, add the detection reagent, and measure. The simplicity of the system yields robust results that also makes it extremely amiable to HTS.

Transcreener Mix and Read Assay

Robust Assay Yields Quality Data

Z’ measurements using optimized RIPK2 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 = 0.74.

The Role of RIPK2 As a Therapeutic Target

RIPK2 plays an important role in regulating inflammatory signaling and cell-death pathways. NOD1 and NOD2 are pattern-recognition receptors that signal to RIPK2. Upon its recruitment by NOD1/2, RIPK2 activates NF-κB and MAPKs, producing pro-inflammatory cytokines (He & Wang 2018). 

Overactivation of NOD1/2 can lead to autoinflammatory diseases, and RIPK2 inhibitors were found to significantly inhibit the immune response of these proteins. Recent studies also show involvement of RIPK2 in the occurrence and progression of several cancers, such as gastric cancer, breast cancer, and renal cell carcinoma (Song et al, 2022).

The Transcreener ADP RIPK2 Assay is an excellent tool for researchers examining the therapeutic effects of RIPK2.
