Artron Gene True Bar & CP4 EPSPS Combo Test Kit
Catalog Number: A07-23-413
INTENDED USE:
Artron GeneTrue PAT & CP4 EPSPS Combo Test Kit is intended to determine the presence of the transgenic PAT/bar protein and/or the CP4 EPSPS protein in genetically modified organisms.
DESCRIPTION:
Transgenic PAT/bar protein when expressed in plants confers plant resistance to herbicides; the test kit is able to detect the presence of the PAT/bar protein expressed in transgenic plants. Experienced researchers can determine the expression level based on the color revealed on the strip test line, allowing for a qualitative or semi-quantitative analysis relative to the degree to which the PAT/bar protein is expressed in a plant.
EPSPS or 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase is an enzyme that catalyzes a reaction in plant and bacterial cells that is necessary for synthesizing some amino acids. The herbicide, Roundup (glyphosate), can bind to the EPSPS enzyme made in plants and block its ability to work. This causes the plant to run out of amino acids which halts growth and development. The plant eventually dies from starvation. Roundup is a non-selective systemic herbicide which means it injures and often kills most plants that come into contact with it.
CP4 EPSPS is the protein introduced by genetic manipulation that is expressed in glyphosate-tolerant soybeans, which are being developed to provide new weed-control options for farmers. Expression of this protein in plants imparts high levels of glyphosate tolerance. The safety of CP4 EPSPS was ascertained by evaluating both physical and functional characteristics. CP4 EPSPS degrades readily in simulated gastric and intestinal fluids, suggesting that this protein will be degraded in the mammalian digestive tract upon ingestion as a component of food or feed.
