Live Cell PIP2 Assays
Green or Red PIP2 Assays
- Bright fluorescent PIP2 sensor
- Real time kinetic assay
- Robust expression in variety of cell types
The PIP2 assay is a genetically encoded biosensor for PIP2 with a green or red dimerization-dependent fluorescent protein. These downward sensors start bright and decrease fluorescence as PIP2 is hydrolyzed to produce DAG and IP3.
PIP2 Assay Performance
- Genetically-encoded for low toxicity
- PIP2 sensor and controls are packaged in BSL1 BacMam vector for efficient expression in variety of cells
- Single channel readout can be combined with additional GPCR assays
- Real time kinetic readout
Multiplex GPCR Assays
Combine red and green sensors to measure multiple GPCR pathways simultaneously
Simple Protocol
- No cell lysis
- Single channel readout
- BSL-1 Vector
- Controlled expression levels
