D-2-Hydroxyglutarate (D2HG) Assay Kit (Colorimetric)

D-2-Hydroxyglutarate (D2HG) Assay Kit (Colorimetric)is available at Gentaur for Next week Delivery.

A fast, sensitive, easy to use and HTP adaptable colorimetric assay to measure D2HG in various biological samples..

Description:

In eukaryotic cells, Isocitrate Dehydrogenase (IDH1, IDH2 and IDH3) catalyzes the interconversion of Isocitrate and α-Ketoglutarate. In human cancers, an IDH mutation causes a gain-of-function, which reduces its affinity for isocitrate and facilitates the conversion of α-ketoglutarate to D-2-Hydroxyglutarate in the presence of NADP. D-2-Hydroxyglutarate (D2HG) is present at low level in normal cells and tissues, but is significantly elevated in metabolic diseases and various cancers. Therefore, detection of elevated D2HG is important for early diagnosis, prognosis and the development of therapeutic strategies against these maladies. BioVision’s D-2-Hydroxyglutarate Assay Kit provides a convenient method to detect D2HG in biological samples. In this assay, D-2-Hydroxyglutarate is oxidized to α-Ketoglutarate in the presence of D2HG Enzyme and Substrate Mix. The intermediate reduces the probe to a colored product with strong absorbance at 450 nm. This absorbance is proportional to the amount of D2HG present in the samples. This assay kit is fast, sensitive, easy to use and high-through adaptable. It can measure D-2-Hydroxyglutarate levels less than 10 µM in various samples.

Applications: • Measurement of D2HG level in various cell/tissues/biological fluids.

Sample Typ:e Adherent or suspension Cells: e.g. 3T3, HepG2, Jurkat cells. Tissues: e.g. Rat Liver, Rat Kidney, etc. Biological Samples: Urine, Serum, etc.

Alternate Name: D2HG assay kit

Features and Benefits:

• Simple, fast, HTP adaptable and convenient assay • Can measure D2HG levels as low as 10 µM in various samples
