Pyruvate Assay Kit

产品说明

一般描述

Pyruvate is a key intermediate in cellular metabolic pathways. Pyruvate can be converted to carbohydrates via gluconeogenesis, to fatty acids or energy through acetyl-CoA, to the amino acid alanine and to ethanol. Abnormal levels of pyruvate have been linked to liver diseases and metabolic disorders. Simple, direct and automation-ready procedures for measuring pyruvate concentrations find wide applications in research and drug discovery.

特点和优势

Compatible with high-throughput handling systems.

适用性

Suitable for pyruvate detection in biological samples and for studying the effects of drugs on pyruvate metabolism.

原理

The Pyruvate Assay Kit uses a single Working Reagent that combines pyruvate oxidase and hydrogen peroxide determination in one step. The color intensity of the reaction product at 570nm or fluorescence intensity at λem/ex = 585/530nm is directly proportional to pyruvate concentration in the sample. Linear detection range in 96-well plate: 2 to 500 μM (17 μg/dL to 4.4 mg/dL) pyruvate for colorimetric assays and 0.2 to 50 μM for fluorometric assays.
