Assay for detecting modulators of serine/threonine phosphatease activity

摘要

An assay method for identifying an agent that can affect the activity or expression of a nucleotide sequence or the expression product (EP) thereof is described. The assay method comprises contacting an agent with a nucleotide sequence coding for a serine/threonine phosphatase; and/or the EP thereof (i.e. a serine/threonine phosphatase); and determining whether the agent affects the activity or expression of the nucleotide sequence and/or the EP.
