General description

Adenosine is a purine nucleoside base, which is the precursor of adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, and is utilized thoroughly throughout the entire body in general metabolism. Extracellular adenosine acts as a local modulator with a generally cytoprotective function in the body. Its effects on tissue protection and repair fall into four categories: increasing the ratio of oxygen supply to demand; protecting against ischaemic damage by cell conditioning; triggering anti-inflammatory responses; and the promotion of angiogenesis.

Application

The Adenosine Quantification Assay Kit may be used for:
  • Cancer Research
  • Cardiovascular Disease Research
  • Neurological Disease Research

Features and Benefits

  • Supportive calculator (Click here to download a calculator excel file) Analyze results based on your experimental data!
  • Quick instruction bench card - to assure your experimental success
  • More experiments in one kit - contains sufficient reagents for 100 tests

Suitability

The kit is suitable for the quantification of adenosine in plasma.

Principle

The Adenosine Quantification Assay Kit provides a simple and quick fluorometric method for the detection of adenosine. The kit is based on a multi-step enzymatic approach, resulting in the formation of fluorescent product that is measured at λEx = 550 nm/λEm = 585. The kit has a linear range of 0 to 20 μM.

Four adenosine receptors have been cloned and characterized from several mammalian species. The receptors are named adenosine A(1), A(2A), A(2B), and A(3). The A(2A) and A(2B) receptors preferably interact with members of the G(s) family of G proteins and the
