Application

Iodonitrotetrazolium (INT) is a tetrazolium dye precursor that forms a purple formazan dye on reduction and has been used in a variety of applications. It is considered to have higher reactivity than some tetrazolium compounds, at least with respect to succinate dehydrogenase, with optimal results obtained using a concentration of 0.8 mM INT. INT is used as an electron acceptor for the colorimetric assays of: lactate dehydrogenase, xanthine dehydrogenase, lactyl-CoA dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, BBM II ketolisomerase, histidinol dehydrogenase and diverse other hydrolases.

Phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP)-dependent kinases are central to numerous metabolic processes and mediate the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by substrate-level phosphorylation (SLP). While pyruvate kinase (PK, EC: 2.7.1.40), the final enzyme of the glycolytic pathway is critical in the anaerobic synthesis

Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) and Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) are caused by inactivating mutations in TSC1 or TSC2, leading to mTORC1 hyperactivation. The mTORC1 inhibitors rapamycin and analogs (rapalogs) are approved for treating of TSC and LAM. Due to their cytostatic and

Flavocytochrome b(558) (cytb) of phagocytes is a heterodimeric integral membrane protein composed of two subunits, p22(phox) and gp91(phox). The latter subunit, also known as Nox2, has a cytosolic C-terminal "dehydrogenase domain" containing FAD/NADPH-binding sites. The N-terminal half of Nox2 contains
