Revvity, 64ULKTPEH, HTRF Human Total ULK1 Detection Kit, 10,000 Assay Points

Overview
ULK1 is a cytoplasmic kinase part of a complex which acts as an upstream regulator of macroautophagy promoting phagophore formation. Autophagy is a physiological process maintaining cellular homeostasis. It makes ULK1 a new therapeutic target for various disorders (ageing related diseases, infectious disease, lysosomal storage disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, or cancers).
HTRF assays offer many advantages over other technologies:

Homogeneous add-and-read format
No wash steps
Low background
Straightforward miniaturization from 96- or 384-well microplates to high density assay formats such as 384-well low volume and 1536-well plates
Stable signal, providing flexibility in time of readout or size of assays
How it works
HTRF Human Total ULK1 assay principle
The HTRF Human Total ULK1 assay quantifies the expression level of ULK1 in a cell lysate. Unlike Western Blot, the assay is entirely plate-based and does not require gels, electrophoresis, or transfer. The Human Total ULK1 assay uses two labeled antibodies, one coupled to a donor fluorophore and the other to an acceptor. Both antibodies are highly specific for a distinct epitope on the protein. In presence of ULK1 in a cell extract, the addition of these conjugates brings the donor fluorophore into close proximity with the acceptor, and thereby generates a FRET signal. Its intensity is directly proportional to the concentration of the protein present in the sample, and provides a means of assessing the protein’s expression under a no-wash assay format.

Human Total ULK1 two-plate assay protocol
The two-plate protocol involves culturing cells in a 96-well plate before lysis, then transferring lysates into a 384-well low volume detection plate before the addition of Human Total ULK1 HTRF detection reagents. This protocol enables the cells' viability and confluence to be monitored.

Human Total ULK1 one-plate assay protocol
Detection of Human ULK1 with HTRF reagents can be performed in a single plate used for culturing, stimulation, and lysis. No washing steps are required. This HTS designed protocol enables miniaturization while maintaining robust HTRF quality. Application-Cell Signaling
