Phenylalanine Assay Kit ab83376 provides a quick, simple, accurate method for quantifying phenylalanine in biological samples.
In the phenylalanine assay protocol, phenylalanine is reductively deaminated with the simultaneous formation of NADH which reacts with our fluorescent probe to generate fluorescence at Ex/Em=535/587 nm. The assay is linear in the range from 0.1 to 1.0 nmol (2-20 μM) of Phenylalanine.
Phenylalanine assay protocol summary:
- add samples and standards to wells
- add reaction mix and incubate for 60 min
- analyze with a microplate reader
This product is manufactured by BioVision, an Abcam company and was previously called K572 Phenylalanine Fluorometric Assay Kit. K572-100 is the same size as the 100 test size of ab83376.
L-Phenylalanine (PHE) is an electrically-neutral amino acid, one of the twenty common and one of the three aromatic amino acids used to biochemically form proteins. Phenylalanine uses the same active transport channel as tryptophan to cross the blood-brain barrier, and, in large quantities, interferes with the production of serotonin.
