Heparanase assay, a homogeneous assay to monitor Heparanase activity.
Heparanase is an enzyme that cleaves heparan sulfate, and thereby releases growth factors that are implicated in tumor cell proliferation, metastasis and angiogenesis. Cisbio Bioassays' HTRF®-based assay monitors heparanase activity using a proprietary heparan sulfate substrate labeled with both biotin and Eu3+ Cryptate. This homogeneous assay has the robustness of HTRF technology and rapidly produces high quality results.
