Application

The kit provides the reagents required for a fast and convenient detection of β-N-Acetylglucosaminidase activity in cell lysates, tissue homogenates or purified enzyme. It is a useful tool for the detection of lysosomes in fractionated cell/tissue samples.

Biochem/physiol Actions

N-acetyl-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) in mammals is a lysosomal enzyme, which takes part in the intracellular degradation of glycolipids and glycoproteins. High activities of this enzyme have been detected in human kidney, lung and liver lysosomes. Elevated levels of serum NAG are associated with certain forms of cancer.

Analysis Note

The kit assay is based on the hydrolysis of NAG substrate (NP-GLcNAc) by the enzyme. The enzymatic hydrolysis of the substrate liberates p-nitrophenylate ion. The reaction product is detected colorimetrically at 405 nm.

Recent experimental work suggests a paradox: although uremia evokes systemic toxicities, in the setting of AKI, it can induce intrarenal cytoprotective and anti-inflammatory effects. Whether these influences can attenuate post-ischemic kidney disease progression remains unknown. To explore this possibility, male

Impaired autophagic degradation of intracellular lipids is causally linked to the development of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Pharmacological agents that can restore hepatic autophagic flux could therefore have therapeutic potentials for this increasingly prevalent disease. Herein, we investigated the effects of

Organelle Isolation

The isolation of subcellular fractions by centrifugation is a commonly used technique and is widely applicable across multiple cell and tissue types. Because organelles differ in their size, shape, and density, centrifugation can be easily employed to separate and purify organelle fractions from gently homogenized samples.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
