(2005) with Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase 1B (PTP 1B, purchased from Invitrogen, Life Technologies, UK) at concentrations of 2 nM for 30 min at 37 °C in a humidified atmosphere containing 5% CO 2 . 6,8-difluoro-4-methylumbelliferyl phosphate (DiFMUP, 10 µM, Invitrogen D6567, Molecular Probes, Life Technologies, UK) was then added and incubated for 10 min at 37 °C. TFMS [Bis (4-trifluoromethylsulfonamidophenyl)-1,4-diisopropylbenzine, Calbiochem 540211, 10 mg, Millipore, UK] was used as a standard inhibitor for the PTP1B inhibition assay in a concentration range of 0.0003-3.00 µM. The hydrolysis of DiFMUP by PTP1B enzyme was measured at λ max 355 nm (extinction) and 460 nm (emission).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human recombinant PTPRZ1 and PTP1B proteins were purchased from Sigma (Madrid, Spain).

PTPRZ1 and PTP1B were used at a concentration of 0.1 μM. Increasing concentrations of the different compounds were used (0.001–100 μM) to calculate the IC50. In each experiment, the hydrolysis of the p-NPP residue was determined as an increase in fluorescence at 450 nm (excitation at 430 nm) using a Hitachi F4500 Fluorescence Spectrometer.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
