Acetyl Coenzyme A Assay Kit ยี่ห้อ Sigma

คำอธิบาย

General description

Acetyl-CoA (AcCoA) is an essential cofactor and carrier of acyl groups in enzymatic acetyl transfer reactions. It is the starting compound for the citric acid cycle (Kreb′s cycle). It is also a key precursor in lipid biosynthesis, and the source of all fatty acid carbons. AcCoA acts as an indicator of fat, sugar, and protein levels and shows up on the nutritional status. In lowered glucose conditions, AcCoA participates in the production of ATP. Increased AcCoA levels are observed in prostate cancer due to elevated fatty acid utilization and thus provides an additional energy source for the tumor cell growth.

Suitability

Suitable for measuring Acetyl-CoA in various biological samples such as cell lysates and tissues.

Principle

Acetyl-CoA concentration is determined by a coupled enzyme assay, which results in a fluorometric (λex = 340/λem = 460 nm) product, proportional to the Acetyl-CoA present. Typical sensitivities of detection for this kit are 20-1000 pmol of Acetyl CoA. This kit is a highly sensitive assay for determining Acetyl-CoA level in a variety of biological samples.
