Porcine AST (Aspartate aminotransferase) ELISA Kit (PRFI00230)

Porcine AST (Aspartate aminotransferase) ELISA Kit from Assay Genie is a pre-coated immunoassay with a high sensitivity and broad range and has been designed to measure Porcine AST (Aspartate aminotransferase) in serum, plasma & cell culture supernatant samples. The Porcine AST (Aspartate aminotransferase) ELISA Kit accurately measures natural Porcine AST (Aspartate aminotransferase) levels quantified versus standard curves obtained and is based on antibodies raised against a recombinant Porcine AST (Aspartate aminotransferase) peptide. Protein function: Biosynthesis of L-glutamate from L-aspartate or L-cysteine. Important regulator of levels of glutamate, the major excitatory neurotransmitter of the vertebrate central nervous system. Acts as a scavenger of glutamate in brain neuroprotection. The aspartate aminotransferase activity is involved in hepatic glucose synthesis during development and in adipocyte glyceroneogenesis. Using L-cysteine as substrate, regulates levels of mercaptopyruvate, an important source of hydrogen sulfide. Mercaptopyruvate is converted into H(2)S via the action of 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (3MST). Hydrogen sulfide is an important synaptic modulator and neuroprotectant in the brain.
