General description

Succinate dehydrogenase (SDH; EC 1.3.5.1) is a mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of succinate to fumarate and carries electrons from FADH to CoQ in eukaryotes and bacteria. It has a central function in the maintenance of cellular energy metabolism via the Krebs (tricarboxylic acid) cycle and the electron transport chain. Mutations in SDH cause hereditary paraganglioma/phaeochromocytoma syndrome and a neurodegenerative disorder known as Leigh syndrome.

Application

Succinate Dehydrogenase Activity Colorimetric Assay Kit has been used to measure the enzyme activity of succinate dehydrogenase in samples.

Suitability

Suitable for the detection of Succinate Dehydrogenase Activity in a variety of biological samples such as cell and tissue culture supernatants and purified mitochondria.

Principle

The Succinate Dehydrogenase Activity Colorimetric Assay kit provides a simple and sensitive procedure for measuring SDH activity in a variety of tissues, cells, and isolated mitochondria. SDH activity is determined by generating a product with absorbance at 600 nm proportional to the enzymatic activity present. One unit of SDH is the amount of enzyme that generates 1.0 μmole of DCIP per minute at pH 7.2 at 25 °C.

As long-lived post-mitotic cells, neurons employ unique strategies to resist pathogen infection while preserving cellular function. Here, using a murine model of Zika virus (ZIKV) infection, we identified an innate immune pathway that restricts ZIKV replication in neurons and is

Cachexia frequently occurs in women with advanced ovarian cancer (OC), along with enhanced inflammation. Despite being responsible for one third of all cancer deaths, cachexia is generally under-studied in OC due to a limited number of pre-clinical animal models. We

The calcium (Ca2+)/calmodulin (CAM)-activated kinase kinase 2 (CAMKK2)-signaling regulates several physiological processes, for example, glucose metabolism and energy homeostasis, underlying the pathogenesis of metabolic diseases. CAMKK2 exerts its biological function through several downstream kinases, therefore, it is expected that depending

Rabies is the most lethal zoonotic, vaccine-preventable viral disease in the world. Its treatment is complicated by insufficient vaccine supply and the requirement for four to five repeated injections, as commercially available inactivated rabies lack adjuvant and have low immunogenicity.
