| Description: | Data Source: Sanford-Burnham Center for Chemical Genomics (SBCCG) Source Affiliation: Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute(SBMRI, San Diego, CA) Network: NIH Molecular Libraries Probe Production Centers Network (MLPCN) Grant Number: 1X01DA026208-01 Assay Provider: Dr. Lawrance Barak , Duke University, Durham, NC b-galactosidase (b-gal), a hydrolase enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of b-galactosides to monosaccharides is utilized in many different screening technologies involving enzyme reaction coupling and reporter assays, for example DiscoverX b-Arrestin GPCR assays such as the APJ Agonist or Antagonist. This assay was developed and performed as a counterscreen for screening assays that utilize b-gal and a reaction that it catalyzes. By detecting inhibitors and activators of this enzyme, it is possible to attribute activity not to the primary assay in question, but rather to interaction with the method of detection.
