Background
Wee1 (also known as WEE1 G2 checkpoint kinase) belongs to the serine-threonine kinase family of proteins. Wee1 plays a crucial role in regulating G2/M transition through phosphorylation of cyclin dependent kinase (CDKs), allowing DNA damage to be repaired. that is overexpressed in many types of cancer such as luminal and HER2-positive breast cancer, hepatocellular carcinomas, and glioblastomas. Classical cancer therapies, such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy, induce DNA damage, and cells trigger the checkpoint in cell cycle, such as Wee1. This can lead to cancer cell resistance. Inhibiting Wee1 prevents cells from repairing DNA damage due to unchecked replication, suggesting that combination therapeutics with DNA damaging reagents and Wee1 inhibitors may be effective against cancer.
Description
The Wee1 Kinase Assay Kit is designed to measure Wee1 kinase activity for screening and profiling applications using Kinase-Glo® Kinase Assay as a detection reagent. The Wee1 Kinase Assay Kitcomes in a convenient 96-well format, with enough purified recombinant Wee1 enzyme (amino acids 215-646), Wee1 Substrate, ATP, and kinase assay buffer for 100 enzyme reactions.Need us to run inhibitor screens or profile your compounds against Wee1?
