Phosphorylation ≠ Activity
Most kinase assays infer activity from phospho-status. Learn why catalytic function and phosphorylation often diverge — and how PhosphoSens measures real activity.
PhosphoSens Lysate Assays directly quantify functional kinase activity in cell and tissue lysates. Unlike phosphoprotein methods that only measure phosphorylation state as a proxy, PhosphoSens captures true enzymatic activity at the substrate level, delivering real-time progress curves in a biologically relevant context.
Every well produces a complete activity profile — not just a snapshot — so you can clearly see kinase function, inhibitor dynamics, and pathway modulation in the context of native biology.
Use the table below to find the Cell Lysate Kinase Assay that matches your target of interest. Each Kinase-Selective Lysate Substrate is identified by its unique AQT code (e.g., AQT1076).

PhosphoSens Lysate Assays directly quantify functional kinase activity in cell and tissue lysates. Unlike phosphoprotein methods that only measure phosphorylation state as a proxy, PhosphoSens captures true enzymatic activity at the substrate level, delivering real-time progress curves in a biologically relevant context.
See how kinase activity changes across multiple cell lines, conditions, and stimuli — and why functional assays reveal dynamics that phospho readouts miss.
