Description générale

Phosphate is one of the most abundant minerals in the human body and contains about 1 % of total body weight. Phosphate homeostasis is maintained by the several regulators such as parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcitriol and phosphatonins. Maintenance of phosphate homeostasis is essential for various biological processes, such as energy metabolism, cell signaling, regulation of protein synthesis, skeletal development and bone integrity.† An adequate level of phosphate is needed for the process of apoptosis of mature chondrocytes in the growth plate. Phosphate deficiency is associated with the bone pathology and clinical illness.†

Application

Malachite Green Phosphate Assay Kit has been used in phosphate quantification[1] and steady-state kinetics.[2]
Malachite Green Phosphate Assay Kit has been used to measure the liberation of free orthophosphate in the following applications:
  • Phosphatase Assays: liberation of phosphate from peptide, protein, or small molecule substrate.[1][3]
  • Lipase Assays: liberation of phosphate from phospholipids
  • Nucleoside Triphosphatase Assays: liberation of phosphate from nucleoside triphosphates (ATP, GTP, TTP, CTP etc).
  • Quantitation of phosphate in phospholipids, proteins and DNAs, etc.
  • Drug Discovery: high-throughput screen for phosphatase inhibitors.

Caractéristiques et avantages

Compatible with high-throughput handling systems.

Adéquation

Suitable for phosphate determination in a variety of biological and environmental samples.

Principe

Malachite Green is a basic dye belonging to the triphenylmethane group. It is used in biology for the staining of microscopic samples, such as plant tissue, yeast and bacteria. The malachite green method is a sensitive method for the detection of released phosphate.†† The Malachite Green Phosphate Assay Kit is based on quantification of the green complex formed between Malachite Green, molybdate and free orthophosphate. The rapid color formation from the reaction can be conveniently measured on a spectrophotometer (600 - 660 nm) or on a plate reader. The non-radioactive colorimetric assay kits have been optimized to offer superior sensitivity and prolonged shelf life. The assay is simple and fast, involving a single addition step for phosphate determination. Assays can be executed in tubes, cuvettes or multi-well plates. The assays can be conveniently performed in 96 and 384 well plates for high throughput screening of enzyme inhibitors.

Questions

1–9 of 9 Questions  

  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer

    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/449/386/product-dating-information-mk.pdf

  2. Is this kit able to detect pyrophosphate too?

    1 answer

    1. This kit is intended for the detection of free orthophosphate and has not been tested for pyrophosphate detection. There are other products available that are specifically for use in pyrophosphate detection. Please see the links below to review each item:

  3. Does the product MAK307 contain magnesium?

    1 answer

    1. Magnesium is not included as a component in any of the reagents provided with the kit for product MAK307. If magnesium serves as an essential cofactor for the enzyme, it is recommended to supplement it in the buffer before conducting the phosphate determination assay.

  4. What are the reasons behind the suggestion to use lower concentrations than 0.25mM? Are there potential unwanted biochemical reactions between GTP and malachite green/molybdate if GTP concentration exceeds 0.25mM?

    1 answer

    1. The kit operates by releasing free orthophosphate from ATP or GTP, followed by the creation of a green complex involving the orthophosphate, molybdate, and Malachite green. It has been observed that samples containing ATP and GTP at concentrations exceeding 0.25mM result in the measurement of free phosphate levels falling outside the detection range of the kit (0.02 µM and 40 µM phosphate), and hence should be avoided.

  5. Why is it necessary to dilute the ATP concentration to <0.25 mM before the assay? Does ATP interfere with the assay?

    1 answer

    1. BioAssay Support recommends reducing the ATP concentration before the assay to minimize background interference resulting from non-enzymatic ATP hydrolysis and to decrease the likelihood of reagent precipitation with unhydrolyzed ATP.

  6. our kit expired, when I used to measure extracted polyphosphate degraded by the enzyme, the results were so different compared to the precious ones (when the kit was not expired), this means the result was not reliable after it expired?

    1 answer

    1. Correct, products used beyond the expiration date will likely offer poor results.

  7. Does Malachite Green interact with glycerol?

    1 answer

    1. The Malachite Green Phosphate Assay Kit is based on the quantification of the green complex formed between Malachite Green, molybdate, and free orthophosphate. No specific compatibility study has been done with this kit and glycerol. This would need to be tested empirically, in a sample with a known phosphate concentration, with and without glycerol at the desired concentration.

  8. Can we test the same MG in shrimp matrix ?

    1 answer

    1. This product is suitable for a variety of sample types. There is no reason to suspect a problem with shrimp matrix. Attention should be given to sample preparation, handling, and dilution. See the link below to review the product datasheet which includes the protocol and troubleshooting tips:
