Phenylalanine Assay Kit
SIGMA/MAK005 - sufficient for 100 fluorometric tests
Product Type: Chemical
| detection method | fluorometric |
| relevant disease(s) | neonatal diseases; neurological disorders; pediatric diseases |
| storage temp. | −20°C |
| usage | sufficient for 100 fluorometric tests |
| Application: | Suitable for L-phenylalanine detection in cell and tissue culture supernatants, serum, and other biological samples |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Phenylalanine concentration is determined by a coupled enzyme assay, which results in the deamination of phenylalanine and the production of NADH which reacts with the probe resulting in a fluorescent (λex = 535 nm/λem = 587 nm) product, proportional to the phenylalanine present. |
| General description: | Phenylalanine is a non-polar essential amino acid. In the liver, phenylalanine is converted to tyrosine, which is a precursor for multiple compounds including |
| RIDADR | NONH for all modes of transport |
| Storage Temp. | −20°C |
| UNSPSC | 12161503 |
