alpha-Glucosidase Assay Kit

• Cat.No.: Kit-0062
• Product Overview: alpha-Glucosidase Assay Kit is a colorimetric kinetic determination of a-Glucosidase activity.

Specification

• Description: α-GLUCOSIDASE hydrolyzes the terminal, non-reducing 1,4-linked α-Dglucose residues with release of α-D-glucose. α-Glucosidase is needed by all animals to hydrolyze maltose to glucose for use as a food. Aberrant activities have been implicated in diseases such as diabetes and Pompe disease. Simple, direct and automation-ready procedures for measuring α-glucosidase activity are becoming popular in Research and Drug Discovery. alpha-Glucosidase Assay Kit is designed to measure α-glucosidase activity directly in biological samples without pretreatment. The improved method utilizes p-nitrophenyl-α-Dglucopyranoside that is hydrolyzed specifically by α-glucosidase into a yellow colored product (maximal absorbance at 405nm). The rate of the reaction is directly proportional to the enzyme activity.
