ARE Reporter Kit (Nrf2 Antioxidant Pathway )

The ARE Reporter kit is designed for monitoring the activity of the Nrf2 antioxidant pathway in cultured cells. The kit contains a transfection-ready ARE luciferase reporter vector|which is an Nrf2 pathway-responsive reporter. This reporter contains a firefly luciferase gene under the control of multimerized ARE responsive elements located upstream of a minimal promoter. The ARE reporter is premixed with a constitutively expressing Renilla (sea pansy) luciferase vector that serves as an internal control for transfection efficiency. The kit also includes a non-inducible firefly luciferase vector premixed with constitutively expressing Renilla luciferase vector as negative control. The non-inducible luciferase vector contains a firefly luciferase gene under the control of a minimal promoter|without any additional response elements. This negative control is critical to determining pathway-specific effects and background luciferase activity.
