Mechanism of action
Cys-Kemptide sits within the Kinase Substrates research class (CPC reference PKCP-013). These peptides carry consensus phosphorylation motifs recognized by specific kinase families (PKA, PKC, CDK, MAPK, tyrosine kinases). Phosphorylation is detected via radiolabel incorporation, ADP quantitation, or antibody-based readouts. Investigators typically incorporate Cys-Kemptide as a reference standard, tool ligand, or substrate in the assay contexts listed above. ADP-Glo, HTRF KinEASE, and radiometric filter-binding assays.
Frequently asked questions
What is Cys-Kemptide?
Cys-Kemptide (CPC catalog code PKCP-013) is a synthetic kinase / phosphatase substrate in the kinase substrates category. It is provided as a lyophilized ~1 mg vial for in-vitro research use only.
What is Cys-Kemptide studied for?
Published and internal research programs use Cys-Kemptide as a reference standard in kinase substrates workflows — for example, kinase activity and kinetic characterization and high-throughput inhibitor screening. Human clinical evidence is not established.
Is Cys-Kemptide FDA-approved for human use?
No. Cys-Kemptide is a research-grade reference peptide and is not approved by the FDA or any national regulator for human or veterinary therapeutic use. It is offered exclusively for in-vitro laboratory research and does not ship to the United States for consumer use.
How is Cys-Kemptide typically used in the lab?
In a kinase substrates workflow, Cys-Kemptide is reconstituted in sterile buffer or DMSO (solubility-dependent) and applied in the researcher's chosen assay format. ADP-Glo, HTRF KinEASE, and radiometric filter-binding assays.
How should Cys-Kemptide be stored?
Store lyophilized at −20 °C, protected from light and moisture. Follow your institution's standard operating procedures for handling synthetic peptides.
Where does the Cys-Kemptide product page point to?
This kindr reference page mirrors CPC Scientific's catalog metadata for PKCP-013. The upstream reference sheet — including sequence, purity, MW, and application notes where published — is linked from the buy panel. All orders placed on kindr Peptides ship internationally under research-use terms only.
What quality specifications apply to Cys-Kemptide?
Research-grade peptides in the CPC catalog are synthesized by solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), purified by preparative RP-HPLC, and characterized by analytical HPLC and mass spectrometry. Typical purity is ≥95%; certificate of analysis is available on request.
