Acetate Colorimetric Assay Kit sufficient for 100 colorimetric tests
Acetate, the ionized form of acetic acid, is a critical metabolite in fatty acid and carbohydrate metabolism. The majority of acetate is utilized as the conjugate to coenzyme A (CoA), acetyl-CoA. Acetyl-CoA is a precursor to fatty acid and cholesterol
synthesis and an important starting compound for the citric acid cycle.[1] Acetyl-CoA also serves as a precursor for the synthesis of acetylcholine and as the donor for acetyl groups for post-translational acetylation
reactions of histone and non-histone proteins.[2][2] Acetate is generated from the metabolism of carbohydrates, amino acids, fatty acids, and ethanol.
The Acetate Assay kit provides
a simple and direct procedure for measuring acetate in a variety of samples. Acetate concentration is determined by a coupled enzyme assay, which results in a colorimetric (450 nm) product proportional to the acetate present.
Acetate colorimetric assay kit has been used to determine acetate concentrations calorimetrically.[6][7]
Suitable for the detection of acetate in serum, plasma, animal tissues (liver, kidney, muscle, heart etc.), cell culture (adherent or suspension cells) and food.
