Glutaminase Assay Kit (Colorimetric)

23

Functional Assay

0.01 - 1 micromol/ml

The assay is initiated with the enzymatic hydrolysis of Glutamine by Glutaminase. The enzyme catalysed reaction products can be measured at a colorimetric readout at 420 nm.

This gene encodes the K-type mitochondrial glutaminase. The encoded protein is an phosphate-activated amidohydrolase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of glutamine to glutamate and ammonia. This protein is primarily expressed in the brain and kidney plays an essential role in generating energy for metabolism, synthesizing the brain neurotransmitter glutamate and maintaining acid-base balance in the kidney. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]
