- prostaglandin H synthase PGHS PGH2 PGF2? PG-F2? quantified enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ELISA COX1 COX2 PGF2-? PGF2a PGF-2a PGF2-a PGF PGH-2
- Product Overview:
The COX (human) Inhibitor Screening Assay Kit directly measures prostaglandin F2? (PGF2?) by SnCl2 reduction of COX-derived PGH2 produced in the COX reaction. The prostanoid product is quantified via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using a broadly specific antiserum that binds to all the major prostaglandin compounds. This assay includes human recombinant COX-1 and COX-2, allowing the user to screen specific inhibitors. It is an excellent tool for general inhibitor screening or for eliminating false positive leads generated by less specific methods.
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
