Description

For rapid, sensitive and accurate screening of potential Tyrosinase inhibitors

---

Tyrosinase (EC 1.14.18.1) is a copper-binding enzyme that is expressed across a vast range of species ranging from bacteria and fungi to mammals. It is involved in two sequential reactions of the melanin synthesis pathway: first being the hydroxylation of a monophenol and second the conversion of an ortho-diphenol to a quinone. Quinone then undergoes a series of reactions including polymerization to form melanin.

Tyrosinase is of great interest to the agriculture industry since it causes browning of fruits, vegetable, and mushrooms, as well as to the cosmetic industry as it causes skin darkening. Development and screening of tyrosinase inhibitors, therefore, is very useful for conditions such as hyperpigmentation and melasma. Tyrosinase activity is significantly increased in melanoma. Therefore, the detection of tyrosinase activity could be promising as a specific diagnostic test for melanoma and may be useful in monitoring patient response to melanoma treatments.

This Tyrosinase Activity Assay Kit is a simple one-step, plate-based assay for the measurement of tyrosinase activity in biological samples. In this assay, tyrosinase catalyzes the conversion of a phenolic substrate to a Quinone intermediate, which reacts with the tyrosine enhancer forming a highly stable chromophore with absorbance at 520 nm. The assay can detect as low as 30 μU Tyrosinase in biological samples.

Highly reproducibility
Highly Sensitive Assay to Screen for Tyrosinase Activity
Stable formulation of ready to use Reaction Facilitator (tyrosinase)

DBCO-C5-NHS ester is an amine-reactive compound, which can be used to modify an amine-containing molecule in organic media. This reagent isn’t soluble in aqueous media. The extended 5-carbon atom spacer arm improves solubility in commonly used organic solvents including dichloromethane, chloroform, THF, and ethyl acetate, and it also improves derivatization efficiency and stability of conjugates. DBCO is commonly used for copper-free Click Chemistry reactions. Reagent grade, for research use only.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability

• All kit components should be stored at -20°C upon arrival.
• Once reconstituted, repeated thawing and freezing (>2 times) of the Master Mix and Positive Control should be avoided, as this may affect the performance of the assay. If the reagents are to be used only intermittently, they should be frozen in aliquots.
• All kit components can be stored for 2 years after the date of production without showing any reduction in performance.
