Press Release Body = April 23, 2007 - San Jose, CA

Protein kinases are a transferase family of self-regulatory enzymes that catalyze
the phosphorylation of other proteins by covalently attaching phosphate groups to
them, using ATP as a phosphate donor. Reversible protein
phosphorylation-dephosphorylation has a principal role in the regulation of
essentially all cellular functions and most aspects of cell life, and
phosphorylation by protein kinases is a major signal transduction mechanism that
regulates gene expression, proliferation, membrane transport, cell metabolism and
many other cellular functions by modifiying other proteins.

To successfully assay protein kinase activity, signal transduction mechanisms,
protein functions, protein detection, and many other applications, AnaSpec, a
leading provider of integrated proteomics solutions, offers one of the world's
largest collections of protein kinase substrates. This includes phosphorylated, non-
phosphorylated, biotinylated, FRET-labeled, and dye-labeled with AnaSpec's
high-performance HiLyte FluorT dyes and classic dyes like FAM and TAMRA.
