Serine is without doubt one of the 20 naturally-occurring amino acids utilized by all organisms within the biosynthesis of proteins. Having a single chiral heart, serine can exist as both of two stereoisomers (L-Serine and D-Serine). Along with its position as a protein constructing block, L-Serine serves as a precursor to many very important biomolecules, together with phosphatidylserine, sphingomyelin and the amino acids glycine and cysteine.

The non-proteogenic isomer D-Serine can also be synthesized from L-Serine within the mammalian mind. Whereas most D-amino acids are solely current in hint quantities in mammals, D-Serine is an important neurotransmitter that acts as a co-agonist of synaptic N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) sort glutamate-gated ion channels. Impaired D-Serine metabolism might contribute to a number of neuropsychiatric issues, together with despair, schizophrenia, epilepsy and dementia. BioVision’s DL-Serine Assay Equipment permits for quantification of each L- and D-Serine in organic fluids and tissues. The assay is predicated on the conversion of L-Serine to D-Serine, which is metabolized to an intermediate product that’s subsequently oxidized and reacts with a probe to type a secure fluorophore (Ex/Em = 539/587 nm). Samples could also be divided and assayed concurrently for quantification of each D-Serine and whole DL-Serine. The assay is just not affected by physiological concentrations of different amino acids, is high-throughput adaptable and may detect lower than 1 μM Serine

Description: The Lactose Assay Kit measures total lactose in milk based food products or biological samples such as blood or urine. Lactose is cleaved into glucose and galactose. Glucose is then oxidized, yielding hydrogen peroxide and D-gluconic acid. The hydrogen peroxide is detected by a fluorometric probe.
Description: Bilirubin, a byproduct of heme breakdown, can exist conjugated to glucuronic acid (direct) and as unconjugated (indirect). The unconjugated form is found in the blood bound to albumin and is transported to the liver. Bilirubin becomes conjugated to glucuronic acid in the liver, making it more soluble and allowing for excretion into bile. High levels of bilirubin have been correlated with jaundice and Gilbert?s syndrome while low levels have been associated with cardiovascular disease and diabetes mellitus.
Description: Our Pyruvate Assay Kit measures pyruvate in biological samples. First, pyruvate is oxidized by pyruvate oxidase, producing hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide is then detected at ex. 530-570 nm/em. 590-600 nm using a specific fluorometric probe. Pyruvate levels in unknown samples are determined based on the provided pyruvate standard curve.
Description: Cell Biolabs? Urea Assay Kit is based on the Berthelot reaction. Urea is first degraded into ammonia and carbon dioxide, which further reacts with an alkaline developer to produce a blue-green colored product that can be measured with a standard spectrophotometric plate reader at an optical density between 580-630 nm. Each kit provides sufficient reagents to perform up to 192 assays, including blanks, urea standards and unknown samples.
Description: Cell Biolabs? Phosphatidylcholine Assay Kit measures the phosphatidylcholine present within serum, plasma, or tissue samples.Samples are compared to a known concentration of phosphatidylcholine standard within the 96-well microtiter plate format. Samples and standards are incubated for 60 minutes and then read with a standard 96-well fluorometric plate reader.
