| Application: | Malachite Green oxalate salt has been used in biliary phospholipid analysis. |
| Application: | Malachite Green oxalate salt has been used: • in the preparation of malachite green-ammonium molybdate reagent, as a stop solution for starch synthase activity assay • to terminate the phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) inhibition assay using phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5) triphosphate (PI(3,4,5)P3) as substrate • to determine trypanothione synthetase activity to measure inorganic phosphate release from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) during catalysis |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Malachite green is used in the treatment of fungal and parasitic infections in fish. |
| General description: | The release of phosphate or pyrophosphate in an enzymatic reaction can be detected by malachite green and is measured spectrometrically at 660nm. |
