General description

α-Glucosidase hydrolyzes carbohydrates by acting on terminal, non-reducing a(1→4)-linked D-glucose residues with the release of D-glucose. Defects in α-glucosidase have been implicated in Pompe disease and diabetes.

Application

α-Glucosidase Activity Assay Kit has been used to measure the activity of a-glucosidase.

Features and Benefits

Compatible with high-throughput handling systems.

Suitability

Suitable for the detection of α-glucosidase activity in biological samples.

Principle

In this assay,α-glucosidase activity is determined by a reaction in which α-glucosidase hydrolyzes p-nitrophenyl-α-D-glucopyranoside resulting in the formation of a colorimetric (405 nm) product, proportional to the α-glucosidase activity present

Storage Class Code

10 - Combustible liquids
