MUSK NanoBRET Kinase Assay

MUSK NanoBRET Target Engagement Intracellular Kinase Assay for screening of compounds binding to the target.
Target Overview

Target

MUSK

HGNC Symbol

MUSK

Synonyms

muscle associated receptor tyrosine kinase

Cell Line

HEK293 human epithelial cell line from ATCC

Assay Properties

Assay Format

384-well plate format using Promega’s NanoBRET TE Intracellular Kinase Assay

Assay Protocol

HEK293 cells transiently expressing NanoLuc- MUSK Fusion Vector were seeded into the wells of 384-well plates. The cells were pre-treated with the NanoBRET Tracer K-5 and then treated with reference compound CTx-0294885 for 1 hour. The BRET signal was measured on an Envision 2104 Multilabel Reader. IC50 value was calculated and IC50 curve was plotted using the GraphPad Prism 4 program based on a sigmoidal dose response equation.
