CheKine™ Mirco Ploygalacturonase (PG) Activity Assay Kit - 48 T

Ploygalacturonase (PG) (EC 3.2.1.15) is a kind of pectinase, which is widely found in plants, bacteria and fungi. It catalyses the decomposition of polygalacturonic acid, which plays an important role in fruit softening, pollen pollination, seed maturation and organ shedding. In addition, when pathogenic bacteria infect host plants, they can secrete polygalacturonase to degrade host cell wall, thus leading to the development of disease. CheKine™ Micro Ploygalacturonase (PG) Activity Assay Kit can be used to detect biological samples such as plant tissue, bacteria,fungus, liquid samples. In the kit, PG hydrolyzes polygalacturonic acid to produce galaturonate, which has a reducing aldehyde group, reacts with DNS reagent to produce reddish-brown substance, and has a characteristic absorption peak at 540 nm. The activity of polygalacturonase can be calculated by measuring the change of absorption value at 540 nm.
