AlphaLISA SureFire Ultra Human and Mouse Total PERK Detection Kit, 50,000 Assay Points

Protein kinase-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK) is an eIF2α kinase and transmembrane protein that resides in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane and is activated upon ER stress signals. PERK activation during ER stress correlates with autophosphorylation of its cytoplasmic kinase domain. Phosphorylation of PERK at Thr980 serves as a marker for its activation status. PERK promotes tumor growth by limiting oxidative DNA damage and is associated with neurodegenerative diseases and many cancers.

The AlphaLISA SureFire Human and Mouse Total PERK Detection Kit is a sandwich immunoassay for the quantitative detection of total PERK in cellular lysates, using Alpha Technology.
