Acetylcholinesterase Assay Kit




ACETYLCHOLINESTERASE (EC 3.1.1.7, AChE), also known as RBC cholinesterase, is found primarily in the blood and neural synapses. Low serum cholinesterase activity may relate to exposure to insecticides or to one of a number of variant genotypes. AChE catalyzes the hydrolysis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine into choline and acetic acid, a reaction necessary to allow a cholinergic neuron to return to its resting state after activation. Cholinesterase levels of cells and plasma are used as a guide in establishing safety precautions relative to exposure and contact, as well as a guide in determining the need for workers to be removed from areas of contact with the organic phosphate insecticides. Simple, direct and automation-ready procedures for measuring AChE activity are very desirable. BioAssay Systems QuantiChrom™ Acetylcholinesterase Assay is based on an improved Ellman method,in which thiocholine produced by the action of acetylcholinesterase forms a yellow color with 5,5’-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid). The intensity of the product color, measured at 412 nm, is proportionate to the enzyme activity in the sample.

A cholesterol assay kit is referred to as a colorimetric assay which is used to calculate the total amount of cholesterol present in tissue, plasma, homogenates and serum. Today, we will be taking a look at the basics of Cholesterol Assay Kit . Make sure you’re reading on to find out more in this regard. The assay is based on the reaction governed by enzyme and this particular reaction is capable of measuring free cholesterol as well as cholesterol esters. Now, assay kits as we all understand is a very important part of scientific researches. It is so important to ensure that you’re procuring your kit from reliable assay kit providers who have a long history of offering quality assay solutions to the science industry. What should you keep in view as a researcher? Researchers also require zeroing in on providers who are capable of catering to the needs of the highly demanding science industry. It is important to actually remember that you cannot really go on to ch

β-N-Acetylglucosaminidase Assay Kit

Image
β-N-Acetylglucosaminidase  (NAG) is a lysosomal enzyme involved in a variety of biological processes such as the degradation of glycoproteins and glycolipids, cell proliferation, and signal transduction. NAG is found in many tissues in the body, but due to its high molecular weight, it can not be filtered through the glomerular membrane. For this reason, in the presence of tubular damage or a glomerular lesion, urinary NAG activity increases. Elevated NAG levels in urine are an early indication of renal damage, such as injury due to diabetes mellitus, inflammation, nephritic syndrome, urinary tract infection, and more. Various forms of cancer have been associated with increased levels of NAG in serum. Genetically inherited lipid storage disorders, such as Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff disease, arise from deficiencies of the enzyme. BioAssay Systems non-radioactive, colorimetric NAG assay is based on the cleavage of  p -nitrophenol from a synthetic substrate.  p -Nitrophenol becomes int
