CheKine™ Micro Acetyl Coenzyme A (Acetyl-CoA) Assay Kit

Acetyl-CoA is widely present in animals, plants, microorganisms and cultured cells. It is an important intermediate metabolite produced during the metabolism of biometrics. In vivo energy substance metabolism is a hinging material. The three major nutrients --glucose, lipid, protein which could be via acetyl coenzyme A to form a common metabolic pathway - tricarboxylic acid circulation and phosphorylation. Through this path, Acetyl-CoA thoroughly could be oxidize carbon dioxide and water, and release energy for ATP synthesis. Further, Acetyl-CoA a is a precursor material while synthetic fatty acid, ketone body , and Cholesterol and its derivatives .

CheKine™ Micro Acetyl Coenzyme A (Acetyl-CoA) Assay Kit provides a simple, sensitive, rapid colorimetric Acetyl-CoA detection method, which is compatible to various biological samples, especially animals or plant tissues or cell cultures (adherent or suspension) . The detection principle is that malate dehydrogenase can catalyze malic acid and NAD to produce oxaloacetic acid and NADH. citrate synthase can catalyze Acetyl-CoA and oxaloacetic acid to produce citric acid and CoA. Based on the coupling reaction of malate dehydrogenase and citrate synthase, Acetyl-CoA content is is proportional to the generating rate of NADH . NADH has a special absorption peak at 340 nm, and the calculation of the absorbance value of 340 nm can be obtained the content of Acetyl-CoA.

• Do not mix the components between different batch numbers and manufacturers; otherwise, the results may be abnormal. • Avoid bubbles while mixing or redissolving components. • Change pipette tips frequently to avoid cross contamination between components. • Ensure that all components and equipment are at the proper temperature before starting the experiment. • All samples and reagents should be on ice to avoid denaturation and deactivation . • Please to extract Acetyl-CoA from fresh samples in order to ensure the enzyme activity . • Please reduce the tissues weight if the OD values is too high, or reduce the volume of Extraction Buffer if the OD values is too low .
