Description(s):

FAST-1 EMSA (Electrophoretic-Mobility Shift Assay) kit is used for monitoring FAST-1 DNA binding activities and activation. FAST-1 is a transcription factor involved in many cellular processes. Upon activation, FAST-1 can recognize and interact with the unique DNA binding sequence and form protein/DNA complex, which can be separated from free DNA due to the differences in their electrophoretic mobility in native (non-denaturing) polyacrylamide gels.

Principle

When one TF is activated, it binds to a biotin-labeled probe, which is designed based on the consensus binding sequence of the TF. When the formed complex is subjected to electrophoresis, it runs slower than the free probe, and can be easily distinguished. Two or more samples can be compared and differences can be determined by the density of the shifted band.
