Green Cell Stress Assay Kit (U0900G)
Bright Green fluorescent ER Stress assay to detect response and reversal of chemical or genetic ER stress response and UPR.
A new version of this sensor is now available, product #U0921G. The sensor mechanism is the same, but the updated sensor is packaged in our new Big Sky BacMam vector and constitutively expresses the bright Montana Paintbrush RFP for improved Z’ and plate reader compatibility. Green-only measurements remain robust on plate readers and other imaging systems. Please reach out to us with any questions or for a quote for #U0900G.
The cell stress sensor is a genetically-encoded fluorescent biosensor that produces very bright green fluorescence when the cell endures endoplasmic reticulum (ER-mediated) stress or undergoes the unfolded protein response (UPR). Importantly, green fluorescent signals are nuclear localized for simple cell segmentation and image analysis. This sensor is based on the XBP1 mRNA which is spliced by the IRE1 protein during ER stress [Iwawaki et al. 2003]. Additional details may be found on the Cell Stress Assay page.
Materials in the Kit:
• Green Cell Stress Sensor BacMam
• Sodium Butyrate, 500 mM in H2O
• Thapsigargin 100 μM (control)
