The TAK1-TAB1 Kinase Assay Kit is designed to measure TAK1-TAB1 kinase activity for screening and profiling applications using ADP-Glo® Kinase Assay as a detection reagent.
MBP (Myelin Basic Protein) is a non-specific protein substrate that is used as a "universal substrate" for many in-vitro kinase activity assays. This protein is targeted by many serine/threonine kinases at conserved amino acids. We use the dephosphorylated version of the MBP substrate in our assays to determine the kinase-mediated phosphorylation of MBP. Our assays are not suitable for studying autophosphorylation of the kinase due to the presence of the MBP substrate.
