BioTracker DUAL dUTPase Live Cell reporter

Nucleotide surveillance enzymes play important roles inhuman health, by monitoring damaged monomers in the nucleotide pooland deactivating them before they are incorporated into chromosomalDNA or disrupt nucleotide metabolism. Deamination ofcytosine, leading to uracil in DNA and in the nucleotide pool, can bedeleterious, causing DNA damage. The enzyme deoxyuridine triphosphatase(dUTPase) is the sole enzyme that cleanses the nucleotide pool of deaminated cytosine. Measuring the activity of this enzyme is importantboth in basic research and in clinical applications involving thispathway.The BioTracker DUAL dUTPase live cell probe is a luminescence probe that specifically reports on dUTPase activity in real time. The probe is a chimera of dUTP and ATP. dUTPase enzyme accepts the DUAL probe as an efficient substrate and upon hydrolysis releases ATP, which is detected sensitively by luciferase luminescence.Note: Luceferin and luciferase enzyme are needed to detect ATP released by hydrolysis, but are not included in this product. Spectral Properties:Luminescence intensity.Research Category:Live Cell Dye
