Reporter Enzyme Kits
Suited for gene expression studies, both beta-galactosidase and secreted alkaline phosphatase have been identified as reporter enzymes.
β-galactosidase
β-galactosidase is a widely used reporter enzyme in the study of gene expression, protein-protein interactions, and normalization of transfection efficiency
Phosphatases
Some phosphatases serve as enzyme markers. For example, PALP-1, the gene for human placental alkaline phosphate, has been used as a eukaryotic receptor gene that is superior to IacZ for lineage studies in murine retina.
