GRK2 (Phospho-Ser29)Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit

The GRK2 Phospho-Ser29 Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit is a highly sensitive and specific assay designed for the accurate detection of GRK2 phosphorylated at Ser29 in cell lysates. This kit provides reliable and reproducible results, making it ideal for researchers studying the role of GRK2 in cellular signaling pathways and disease mechanisms.GRK2, also known as G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2, is a key regulator of G protein-coupled receptor signaling and plays a critical role in modulating cellular responses to various stimuli. Phosphorylation of GRK2 at Ser29 has been shown to impact its activity and function, making it an important target for investigation in conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and neurological disorders.

By utilizing the GRK2 Phospho-Ser29 Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit, researchers can gain valuable insights into the regulatory mechanisms governing GRK2 phosphorylation and its downstream effects on cellular processes. This kit offers a simple and efficient method for quantifying phosphorylated GRK2 levels, enabling precise and detailed analysis of its involvement in disease pathogenesis and potential therapeutic interventions.

The GRK2 (Phospho-Ser29) Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit is a convenient, lysate-free, high throughput and sensitive assay kit that can detect GRK2 protein phosphorylation and expression profile in cells. The kit can be used for measuring the relative amounts of phosphorylated GRK2 in cultured cells as well as screening for the effects that various treatments, inhibitors (ie. siRNA or chemicals), or activators have on GRK2 phosphorylation.

Qualitative determination of GRK2 (Phospho-Ser29) concentration is achieved by an indirect ELISA format. In essence, GRK2 (Phospho-Ser29) is captured by GRK2 (Phospho-Ser29)-specific primary antibodies while the HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies bind the Fc region of the primary antibody. Through this binding, the HRP enzyme conjugated to the secondary antibody can catalyze a colorimetric reaction upon substrate addition. Due to the qualitative nature of the Cell-Based ELISA, multiple normalization methods are needed:

1. A monoclonal antibody specific for human GAPDH is included to serve as an internal positive control in normalizing the target absorbance values.
2. Following the colorimetric measurement of HRP activity via substrate addition, the Crystal Violet whole-cell staining method may be used to determine cell density. After staining, the results can be analysed by normalizing the absorbance values to cell amounts, by which the plating difference can be adjusted.

UniProt Protein Function:GRK2: a ubiquitous protein kinase of the GRK family. Phosphorylates the beta-2-adrenergic receptor and related G-protein-coupled receptors. Appears to mediate agonist-specific desensitization observed at high agonist concentrations. Expression level is consistently elevated in chronic human heart failure. Mouse models of severe heart failure have been used to demonstrate that inhibition of BARK1 with a peptide inhibitor is sufficient to increase mean survival, reduce dialation and improve cardiac function.

NCBI Summary:The product of this gene phosphorylates the beta-2-adrenergic receptor and appears to mediate agonist-specific desensitization observed at high agonist concentrations. This protein is an ubiquitous cytosolic enzyme that specifically phosphorylates the activated form of the beta-adrenergic and related G-protein-coupled receptors. Abnormal coupling of beta-adrenergic receptor to G protein is involved in the pathogenesis of the failing heart. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

StepProcedure
1.Seed 200 µL of 20,000 adherent cells in culture medium in each well of a 96-well plate. The plates included in the kit are sterile and treated for cell culture. For suspension cells and loosely attached cells, coat the plates with 100 µL of 10 µg/ml Poly-L-Lysine (not included) to each well of a 96-well plate for 30 minutes at 37°C prior to adding cells.
2.Incubate the cells for overnight at 37°C, 5% CO2.
3.Treat the cells as desired.
4.Remove the cell culture medium and rinse with 200 µL of 1x TBS, twice.
5.Fix the cells by incubating with 100 µL of Fixing Solution for 20 minutes at room temperature. The 4% formaldehyde is used for adherent cells and 8% formaldehyde is used for suspension cells and loosely attached cells.
6.Remove the Fixing Solution and wash the plate 3 times with 200 µL 1x Wash Buffer for five minutes each time with gentle shaking on the orbital shaker. The plate can be stored at 4°C for a week.

If the target expression is known to be high, incubate for 2 hours at room temperature.
12.Wash 3 times with 200 µL of 1x Wash Buffer for 5 minutes each time.
13.Add 50 µL of 1x secondary antibodies (HRP-Conjugated AntiRabbit IgG Antibody or HRP-Conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Antibody) to corresponding wells and incubate for 1.5 hours at room temperature.
