Citrate Synthase (CS) Activity Assay Kit (Colorimetric)

Citrate Synthase (CS) Activity Assay Kit provides a simple, sensitive, rapid and colorimetric CS activity detection method, which is compatible to various biological samples, especially animals or plant tissues or cell cultures (adherent or suspension) . CS activity is determined depending on that CS can catalyze acetyl CoA and oxamic acid to produce citamoyl co-enzyme A, further hydrolysis to produce citric acid; this reaction causes colorless DTNB to transform into yellow TNB, TNB has a characteristic absorbing value at 412 nm.The activity of citrate synthase could be obtained by calculated the increase rate of the light absorption at 412nm.
