CheKine™ Mirco Sucrose Synthase-I (SS-I)  Activity Assay Kit - 96 T

Sucrose is the primary form in which photosynthetic products from sources (such as leaves) are transported to “sink” organs. Sucrose synthase (EC 2.4.1.13) is a reversible enzyme that can catalyze both the synthesis and breakdown of sucrose, making it a key enzyme in sucrose metabolism. Studying the activity of its invertase direction (SS-I) is significant for understanding plant sucrose degradation and starch synthesis. CheKine™ Mirco Sucrose Synthase-I (SS-I) Activity Assay Kit offers a simple, convenient, and rapid approach for detecting sucrose synthase (SS-I) activity, suitable for plant tissue samples. The principle of the kit involves SS-I catalyzing the reaction between sucrose and UDP to produce free fructose and UDPG; the content of reducing sugars is then measured using the 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid method to reflect the level of enzyme activity
