The AMPK beta1 Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit provides a lysate-free, convenient, and high-throughput approach for sensitive detection of AMPKbeta1 protein expression profile in cells. The kit can be used for measuring the relative amounts of AMPKbeta1 in cultured cells as well as screening for the effects that various treatments, inhibitors (ie siRNA or chemicals), or activators have on AMPKbeta1.
