General description

GAPDH (Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase; EC 1.2.1.12) catalyzes the conversion of Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate (GAP) to 1, 3-Bisphosphate Glycerate (BPG) and plays a key role in glycolysis. The enzyme is involved in cellular processes such as apoptosis, membrane trafficking, iron metabolism and nuclear translocation. GAPDH (housekeeping gene) expression is stable and constitutive. Deregulation of GAPDH activity is associated with abnormal cell proliferation and carcinogenesis. Accurate quantitation of GAPDH activity is important for diagnosing diseases and studying normal cellular physiology.

Application

GAPDH Activity Assay Kit has been used to measure the enzyme activity of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase in testis.[1]

Features and Benefits

Compatible with high-throughput handling systems.

Suitability

Suitable for use with various tissue and cell culture samples.

Principle

The GAPDH Activity Assay Kit provides a simple and sensitive method for monitoring GAPDH activity in various samples. GAPDH activity is determined in a coupled enzyme reaction in which GAP is converted to BPG by GAPDH. This results in a colorimetric (450 nm) product proportional to the enzymatic activity present. The assay is sensitive to 100 mUnits/mL. One unit of GAPDH activity is the amount of enzyme that will generate 1.0 mmole of NADH per minute at pH 7.2 at 37 °C.

Background. Testicular ischemia reperfusion injury (tIRI) is considered the mechanism underlying the pathology of testicular torsion and detorsion. Left untreated, tIRI can induce testis dysfunction, damage to spermatogenesis and possible infertility. In this study, we aimed to assess the activities

Questions

1–3 of 3 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.

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer

    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  3. What is the species of origin and concentration of the positive control? Additionally, could you provide any other available information such as pH?

    1 answer

    1. The positive control provided in the Glyceraldehyde 3 Phosphate Dehydrogenase Activity Assay Kit is GAPDH from rabbit muscle. There is no information on the pH of the positive control GAPDH protein. The positive control is only provided to demonstrate that the assay is functioning as expected and should not be used as a standard or to quantify the activity/amount of GAPDH in the test samples.
