PHOS-TAG CONSORTIUM

Phos-tag is a compound that labels compounds having an anionic group. The labeled compounds may be either natural compounds or synthetic compounds. The products that have been developed and commercialized this time are especially effective for compounds with a phosphate group... Phos-tag is a novel phosphate-binding tag at neutral pH (physiological pH) and was developed by Department of Functional Molecular Science at Hiroshima University. Phos-tag technologies are innovative methods using Phos-tag for separation, purification, and detection of phosphorylated substances (protein, peptide, etc.)... Phos-tag technology makes use of the properties of Phos-tag, that is, the properties of binding strongly under neutral pH conditions (physiological conditions) to anionic substituents, especially phosphomonoester dianions, and takes the place of conventional enzyme immunoassay and radioactive isotope methods as a technology for capturing substances with an anionic substituent, especially a..
