In Vivo Imaging of Phosphorylation Events

INQUIRY

Creative BioMart offers a full range of advanced techniques and high-quality services for in vivo imaging of kinases, phosphatases, and phosphorylation to advance our customers’ basic research and drug development projects.

Background

In vivo imaging allows for the noninvasive visualization of organisms. Depending on whether biomarkers are required, in vivo imaging can usually be divided into in vivo molecular imaging and anatomical imaging. In vivo molecular imaging can be used for monitoring dynamic real-time localization and translocation of molecules to characterize and measure biological processes at the molecular and cellular levels. Anatomical imaging is often used to observe tissues and organs based on their intrinsic properties. With the development of gene engineering and imaging techniques, in vivo imaging has become real-time, quantifiable, highly sensitive, and compatible with high-throughput applications.

A hallmark of phosphorylation events is their rapid action. Monitoring the rapid phosphorylation-dephosphorylation cycles is essential to elucidate the cellular signaling properties. In vivo imaging can provide the spatial location and dynamic changes of phosphorylation processes, enabling visualization of kinase/phosphatase activity and enzyme-substrate interactions. These advantages make in vivo imaging a very useful technology in kinase/phosphatase biology research and in pharmaceutical fields.

Service Options

Creative BioMart has an experienced scientific team with extensive knowledge in kinase/phosphatase biology. We are dedicated to helping our customers achieve high-quality results in a timely and cost-effective manner.

In Vivo Imaging of Kinases and Phosphatases

Kinases and phosphatases play a pivotal role in many physiologic processes and are implicated in multiple diseases, such as cancer. We provide a variety of advanced imaging techniques including transgenic animals and optical imaging for real-time monitoring of kinase and phosphatase activities in living organisms, thus offering the opportunity to elucidate cellular pathways in vivo and discover targeted drugs.

In Vivo Imaging of Phosphorylation

The development of novel in vivo imaging techniques provides new insights into the molecular basis of both physiological and pathological events in living animals. We have established a platform that integrates a diverse array of genetically encoded fluorescent biosensors to observe rapid phosphorylation events in living cells, helping to elucidate complex phosphorylation networks in vivo.
