Product details:
Arginase Activity Assay Kit (Colorimetric) ab180877 is a simple, sensitive and rapid assay to quantify arginase activity.
In the arginase assay protocol, arginase reacts with arginine and undergoes a series of reactions that form an intermediate that react stoichiometrically with the probe to generate a colored product that can be detected at OD = 570 nm.
The kit can detect less than 0.2 U/L Arginase activity in 96-well assay format.
Arginase assay protocol summary:
- add samples and standards to wells
- add arginase substrate mix to sample wells only
- incubate for 20 min
- add arginase assay reaction mix to all wells
- analyze with microplate reader in kinetic mode for 10-30 min
This product is manufactured by BioVision, an Abcam company and was previously called K755 Arginase Activity Colorimetric Assay Kit. K755-100 is the same size as the 100 test size of ab180877.
Arginase (EC 3.5.3.1) is the final enzyme of the Urea Cycle. It converts L-arginine into urea and L-ornithine and plays an important role in removing ammonium ion from the body.
