Discovery of GALNT3 Inhibitors Using a Universal Glycosyltransferase Assay and Orthogonal Pooled Screening

Transcreener UDP2 Assay Kit - FI Readout

The Transcreener® UDP2 Assay Kit with FI readout directly measures UDP via antibodies selective to UDP and a fluorescent tracer. Enzymatically generated UDP displaces the tracer from an antibody-quencher conjugate, resulting in increased fluorescence. The universal detection method allows screening of virtually any glycosyltransferase in a high throughput format. 

The Transcreener UDP Assay Kit with FI readout produces a simple fluorescent intensity output which can be read on even the most basic fluorescence readers typically found in academic and therapeutic research labs as well as more complex multimode plate readers. Direct detection of UDP with a fluorescence intensity (FI) readout provides a safe, HTS-compatible alternative to cumbersome radioassay methods and is more sensitive and less subject to interference than coupled assay methods, where the UDP is converted to another product.

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

Validation Criteria for Microplate 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 in ≤ 5 minutes

Look for these validation 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.
