Aspartate Assay Kit ab102512 provides a simple, convenient assay to measure aspartate in a variety of samples.
In the aspartate assay protocol, aspartate is converted to pyruvate which is oxidized with the conversion of a probe into a highly colored (570 nm) and fluorescent (Ex/Em 535/587 nm) species proportional to the amount of aspartate in samples. Aspartate can be quantified in the range between 0.1–10 nmoles/well (2-200 μM).
This product is manufactured by BioVision, an Abcam company and was previously called K552 Aspartate Colorimetric/Fluorometric Assay Kit. K552-100 is the same size as the 100 test size of ab102512.
L-Aspartic acid (Asp) is one of the 20 proteinogenic amino acids as building block for protein. Although a non-essential amino acid in mammals, it is a precursor to several other amino acids including four essential amino acids (Met, Thr, Ile and Lys).
