General description

Phosphoglucose Isomerase (PGI) is an enzyme crucial for the interconversion of D-glucose 6-phosphate and D-fructose 6-phosphate in the second step of glycolysis and is involved in glucogenesis. PGI is also referred to as Autocrine Motility Factor (AMF) and is secreted by cancer cells in order to stimulate metastasis. Deficiencies in PGI activity can lead to hemolytic anemia.

Suitability

Suitable for the measurement of phosphoglucose isomerase activity, analysis of glucose metabolism and cell signaling and screening anti-diabetic drugs in animal tissues (liver, brain, heart, kidney etc.), cell culture (adherent or suspension cells), bacteria, yeast, fish etc.

Principle

The Phosphoglucose Isomerase Colorimetric Assay kit provides a simple and direct procedure for measuring PGI activity in a variety of samples. PGI activity is determined by a coupled enzyme assay in which fructose-6-phosphate is converted by PGI to glucose-6-phosphate. Glucose-6-phosphate is subsequently oxidized to form a product, which reacts with a probe generating a colorimetric (450 nm) product proportional to the PGI activity present. One unit of PGI is the amount of enzyme that will generate 1.0 μmole of NADH per minute at pH 8.0 at room temperature.
