Mouse Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) ELISA kit

Sample Types: serum, plasma, cell culture supernates Detection Range: 1.56 mIU/mL-100 mIU/mL Sensitivity: 0.39 mIU/mL Assay Principle: quantitative Measurement: SandwichAssay Time: 1-5h Sample Volume: 50-100ulDetection Wavelength: 450 nmProtein function: Catalyzes the irreversible transamination of the L-tryptophan metabolite L-kynurenine to form kynurenic acid (KA). As a member of the malate-aspartate shuttle, it has a key role in the intracellular NAD(H) redox balance. Is important for metabolite exchange between mitochondria and cytosol, and for amino acid metabolism. Facilitates cellular uptake of long-chain free fatty acids. [The UniProt Consortium]
