The DNA-PK Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit is a convenient, lysate-free, high throughput and sensitive assay kit that can detect DNA-PK protein expression profile in cells. The kit can be used for measuring the relative amounts of DNA-PK in cultured cells as well as screening for the effects that various treatments, inhibitors (ie siRNA or chemicals), or activators have on DNA-PK.
Qualitative determination of DNA-PK concentration is achieved by an indirect ELISA format. In essence, DNA-PK is captured by DNA-PK-specific primary antibodies while the HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies bind the Fc region of the primary antibody. Through this binding, the HRP enzyme conjugated to the secondary antibody can catalyze a colorimetric reaction upon substrate addition. Due to the qualitative nature of the Cell-Based ELISA, multiple normalization methods are needed:
| 1. | A monoclonal antibody specific for human GAPDH is included to serve as an internal positive control in normalizing the target absorbance values. |
| 2. | Following the colorimetric measurement of HRP activity via substrate addition, the Crystal Violet whole-cell staining method may be used to determine cell density. After staining, the results can be analysed by normalizing the absorbance values to cell amounts, by which the plating difference can be adjusted. |

| UniProt Protein Function: | DNAPK: an atypical protein kinase of the PIKK family. Involved in DNA nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) required for double-strand break (DSB) repair and V(D)J recombination. and modulation of transcription. Must be bound to DNA to express its catalytic properties. Promotes processing of hairpin DNA structures in V(D)J recombination by activation of the hairpin endonuclease artemis (DCLRE1C). The assembly of the DNA-PK complex at DNA ends is also required for the NHEJ ligation step. Required to protect and align broken ends of DNA. May also act as a scaffold protein to aid the localization of DNA repair proteins to the site of damage. Found at the ends of chromosomes, suggesting a further role in the maintenance of telomeric stability and the prevention of chromosomal end fusion. Also involved in modulation of transcription. Defects cause severe combined immune deficiency (SCID) which is characterized by a lack of mature functional lymphocytes and a high susceptibility to lethal opportunistic infections. Required for repair of radiation-induced dsDNA breaks. Loss of function in mice or horses leads to the SCID (severe combined immune deficiency) phenotype due to failure of immunoglobulin rearrangement. Target of mutation in mismatch repair-deficient colorectal cancer. Inhibitor: KU-7059. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. |

| NCBI Summary: | This gene encodes the catalytic subunit of the DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK). It functions with the Ku70/Ku80 heterodimer protein in DNA double strand break repair and recombination. The protein encoded is a member of the PI3/PI4-kinase family.[provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010] |
