General description

Glucose is a primary energy source that naturally occurs in its free state in fruits and other plant parts. Abnormal glucose levels have been associated with several metabolic dysfunctions such as hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, and diabetes mellitus. Measurements of glucose levels in tissues and body fluids (such as blood and urine) are often used for the diagnosis of glucose– related disorders. Glucose levels are also monitored to check the efficacy of therapeutics such as insulin and sulphonylureas in type 2 diabetics.

Features and Benefits

Compatible with high-throughput handling systems.

Suitability

Suitable for the determination of glucose concentrations in various biological samples, including serum, plasma, food, or growth medium. This kit is also suitable for monitoring glucose levels during fermentation and glucose feeding in protein expression processes.

Principle

Glucose is oxidized to generate a colorimetric (570 nm)/ fluorometric (λex = 535/λem = 587 nm) product, proportional to the amount of glucose present. The kit is able to detect 1-10,000 μM of glucose in various samples.

Hypoxia is an important environmental factor and has been correlated with tumor progression, treatment resistance and poor prognosis in many solid tumors, including triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Emerging evidence suggests that long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) functions as a critical regulator

The red palm weevil (RPW), Rhynchophorus ferrugineus, is one of the worst palm pests worldwide. In this work, we studied the physiological basis underlying its adaptive strategy against low temperatures. Specifically, we analyzed the main low-molecular-weight biochemical substances acting as

Species loss within a microbial community can increase resource availability and spur adaptive evolution. Environmental shifts that cause species loss or fluctuations in community composition are expected to become more common, so it is important to understand the evolutionary forces

The ELMO protein family consists of the homologues ELMO1, ELMO2 and ELMO3. Several studies have shown that the individual ELMO proteins are involved in a variety of cellular and developmental processes. However, it has poorly been understood whether the Elmo
