More Details
Pyridine nucleotides play an important role in metabolism and, thus, there is continual interest in monitoring their concentration levels. Quantitative determination of NADP+/NADPH has applications in research pertaining to energy transformation and the redox state of cells or tissue.Simple, direct, and automation-ready procedures for measuring NADP+/NADPH concentration are very desirable. BioAssay Systems’ EnzyChromTM NADP+ /NADPH assay kit is based on a glucose dehydrogenase cycling reaction, in which the formed NADPH reduces a formazan (MTT) reagent. The intensity of the reduced product color, measured at 565 nm, is proportionate to the NADP+/NADPH concentration in the sample. This assay is highly specific for NADP+/NADPH and is not interfered with by NAD+/NADH. Our assay is a convenient method to measure NADP, NADPH, and their ratio.When tissue is used, should it be freshly obtained? Or is -80°C storage ok?
If direct sample processing is not possible, we recommend snap freezing tissue samples in liquid nitrogen and keeping them either in liquid nitrogen or at -80°C until further processing.
