Kinexus

Kinexus Bioinformatics Corporation maps and monitors the molecular communications networks of living cells for biomedical research into the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of human diseases. In particular, the company tracks enzymes called protein kinases that control other proteins by carrying out their phosphorylation at regulatory sites known as phosphosites. Phosphosites act as on/off switches for proteins. Their malfunction has been linked to more than 400 human diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and inflammation. Currently, Kinexus measures the presence and activation states of over 650 different protein kinases and other regulatory proteins and many of their phosphosites in cell and tissue specimens through our integrated platform of cell culture, protein microarray, immunoblotting, mass spectrometry and immunohistochemistry services. These innovative proprietary services utilize unique and stringent screening methods to facilitate the disco...
