CheKine™ Micro Asparagine Synthetase (AS) Activity Assay Kit - 96 T

Asparagine synthetase (AS) is a widely distributed enzyme in living organisms belonging to the class of amino transferases. It catalyzes the transfer of an amine group from glutamine to aspartic acid. When a plant is subjected to ammonia toxicity, the formation of asparagine serves as a detoxification mechanism. CheKine™ Micro Asparagine Synthetase (AS) Activity Assay Kit is designed to quantify asparagine synthetase activity in animal and plant tissues, bacterial and cellular samples, as well as in serum (plasma). The assay principle relies on the AS enzyme's ability to catalyze the hydrolysis of L-asparagine into L-aspartic acid and ammonia. By employing Nessler's reagent to detect the rate of ammonia accumulation, the enzymatic activity of AS can be determined.
