The non-proteogenic isomer D-Serine may also be synthesized from L-Serine inside the mammalian thoughts. Whereas most D-amino acids are solely present in trace portions in mammals, D-Serine is a vital neurotransmitter that acts as a co-agonist of synaptic N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) type glutamate-gated ion channels. Impaired D-Serine metabolism may contribute to numerous neuropsychiatric issues, along with melancholy, schizophrenia, epilepsy and dementia. BioVision’s DL-Serine Assay Package deal permits for quantification of every L- and D-Serine in natural fluids and tissues.

Serine is among the many 20 naturally-occurring amino acids utilized by all organisms inside the biosynthesis of proteins. Having a single chiral center, serine can exist as each of two stereoisomers (L-Serine and D-Serine). Together with its perform as a protein developing block, L-Serine serves as a precursor to many crucial biomolecules, along with phosphatidylserine, sphingomyelin and the amino acids glycine and cysteine.
The assay is based on the conversion of L-Serine to D-Serine, which is metabolized to an intermediate product that is subsequently oxidized and reacts with a probe to sort a gentle fluorophore (Ex/Em = 539/587 nm). Samples is also divided and assayed concurrently for quantification of every D-Serine and full DL-Serine. The assay is simply not affected by physiological concentrations of various amino acids, is high-throughput adaptable and will detect decrease 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.
Description: Cell Biolabs? Sphingomyelin Assay Kit is a simple fluorometric assay that measures the amount of sphingomyelin present in plasma or serum, tissue homogenates, or cell suspensionsin a 96-well microtiter plate format. Each kit provides sufficient reagents to perform up to 96 assays, including blanks, sphingomyelin standards and unknown samples. Sample sphingomyelin concentrations are determined by comparison with a known sphingomyelin standard.
Description: Glutamate is a non-essential amino acid that serves as an important neurotransmitter in the mammalian brain and has a key role in cellular metabolism. Excess glutamate levels in the brain can cause cell injury and death, leading to neurological diseases. Our Glutamate Assay Kit is a quantitative, fluorometric assay that uses glutamate specific enzymes to generate hydrogen peroxide. An ADHP probe is oxidized by hydrogen peroxide to generate fluorescent Resorufin, which correlates to the level of glutamate in the sample. Glutamate levels in an unknown sample are calculated based on a glutamate standard curve.
Description: The Hydroxyproline Assay Kit is a quantitative colorimetric assay for measuring the hydroxyproline concentration in protein samples, including collagen where it is found almost exclusively.
Description: Histamine is naturally occurring in food, with high concentrations associated with spoiled and fermented foods. Exposure to high levels of histamine through the ingestion of food can cause symptoms similar to an allergic response. Our Histamine Assay Kit detects total histamine from food samples using a colorimetric probe. Reduction of the probe yields color development proportional the histamine levels in the sample. Absorbance at 450nm is read after a one hour incubation at 37C and histamine levels are calculated based on a histamine standard curve.
