Asparaginase Activity Assay Kit (Colorimetric/Fluorometric)
(ab107922) provides a simple, direct and automation-ready procedure for
measuring asparaginase activity in biological samples.
In the asparaginase assay protocol, asparaginase hydrolyzes
asparagine to generate aspartic acid, which can be detected indirectly
colorimetrically (OD=570 nm) or fluorescently (Ex/Em = 535/590 nm) using a
coupled enzymatic reaction.
Asparaginase assay protocol summary:
- add reaction mix to sample and standard wells, mix and incubate for 10 min
- analyze with microplate reader in kinetic mode for 30-60 min
This product is manufactured by BioVision, an Abcam company
and was previously called K754 Asparaginase Activity Colorimetric/Fluorometric
Assay Kit. K754-100 is the same size as the 100 test size of ab107922.
Asparaginase (EC 3.5.1.1) is a homotetramer that catalyzes
the hydrolysis of asparagine to aspartic acid and ammonia and exhibits about a
2-4% activity on glutamine and 5% on D-asparagine. Asparaginase does not occur
naturally in humans but is found in bacteria, plants and many animals (e.g.
guinea pigs).
