Pyruvate Kinase Assay Kit ab83432 provides a simple, direct and automation-ready assay for measuring pyruvate kinase activity in cell culture supernatant, plasma, serum, tissue, urine and other biological fluids (not validated for use with whole blood).
How the assay works
In the pyruvate kinase assay protocol, PEP and ADP are catalyzed by pyruvate kinase to generate pyruvate and ATP. The generated pyruvate is oxidized by pyruvate oxidase to produce color (absorbance 570 nm) and fluorescence (Ex/Em 535/587 nm). Since the increase in color or fluorescence intensity is proportional to the increase in pyruvate amount, the PK activity can be accurately measured.
The kit detects 0.1 mU/ml pyruvate kinase.

Other notes
This product is manufactured by BioVision, an Abcam company and was previously called K709 Pyruvate Kinase Activity Colorimetric/Fluorometric Assay Kit. K709-100 is the same size as the 100 test size of ab83432.
