alpha-Glucosidase (alpha-GC), also known as alpha-D-glucoside hydrolase, is widely distributed in nature, with a wide variety of species and different properties, and exists in almost all organisms. It has important physiological functions in carbohydrate metabolism in animals, plants and microorganisms. If alpha-GC is deficient, it leads to severe glycogen metabolism disorders and excessive glycogen accumulation, which can cause Pompahs disease (an autosomal recessive inherited glycogen storage disease, also known as glycogenosis type II). Long-term low alpha-GC activity in human tissues can cause muscle fiber destruction and muscle atrophy. The detection principle of this kit is that the chromogenic substance generated by the substrate reaction catalyzed by alpha-glucosidase has the maximum absorption at 400 nm, and the enzyme activity of alpha-GC can be reflected by measuring its OD value at 400 nm.
