Fumarate Assay Kit ab102516 provides a convenient tool for sensitive detection of Fumarate in biological samples.
In the fumarate assay protocol, the fumarate enzyme mix recognizes fumarate as a specific substrate leading to proportional color development. The amount of fumarate can therefore be easily quantified using a colorimetric assay (λ = 450 nm). It can detect as low as 1 nmol of fumarate per well (20 μM).
Fumurate assay protocol summary:
- add samples and standards to wells
- add reaction mix and incubate for 1 hr
- analyze with a microplate reader
This product is manufactured by BioVision, an Abcam company and was previously called K633 Fumarate Colorimetric Assay Kit. K633-100 is the same size as the 100 test size of ab102516.
Fumarate (HO2CCH=CHCO2H-) is an intermediate in the Kreb's cycle used by cells to metabolize food to form ATP. In the mammalian liver, Fumarate is also a product of the Urea cycle where its release in the cytosol leads to its conversion into malate and subsequently oxaloacetate while generating NADH in the cytosol.
