General description

Isolated peroxisomes are used for studying lipid β-oxidation, amino acid metabolism and biosynthesis of ether-linked glycerolipids and bile acids.

Application

The Perixosome Isolation Kit provides all the necessary reagents and a detailed protocol for the isolation of highly purified peroxisomes from animal tissues and cells, by differential density gradient centrifugation using iodixanol [OptiPrep™]. This kit has been used for preparation of peroxisomes from rat liver, rat kidney and rabbit liver as well as HEK293 and HepG2 cells.

Features and Benefits

  • Specially formulated extraction reagents for research scale applications - save time and minimize waste
  • Produces functional intact organelles - resulting peroxisomes are suitable for functional studies, metabolic assays, protein profiling, and disease state analysis
  • Compatible with products for structure confirmation - easily confirm intactness with companion test kit, Cytochrome C Reductase Assay Kit (Cat. No. CY0100)

Other Notes

Upon receiving the kit, the Protease Inhibitor Cocktail (Product Code P 8340) should be stored at –20 °C and the OptiPrep Density Gradient Medium (Product Code O3028) should be stored at room temperature.

The tumor suppressor p53 is an important regulator of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, although downstream mediators of p53 remain to be elucidated. Here, we show that p53 and its downstream targets, p53-inducible ribonucleotide reductase (p53R2) and p53-inducible gene

The oxidation of the side chains of two potential bile acid intermediates, 3 alpha,7 alpha,12 alpha-trihydroxy-5 beta-cholestanoic acid (THCA) and 3 alpha,7 alpha-dihydroxy-5 beta-cholestanoic acid (DHCA), were investigated in rat liver mitochondria and peroxisomes. Both THCA and DHCA were efficiently

Upon differential centrifugation of guinea pig intestine mucosal cells homogenate, fatty acyl-CoA:NADPH oxidoreductase (long chain alcohol forming) was found to be enriched in the light mitochondrial (L) fraction (sedimenting between 66,000 x g min and 500,000 x g min) which

Purified rat liver peroxisomes contain a cyanide-insensitive fatty acyl-CoA oxidizing system that uses O2 and NAD as electron acceptors. The system was detected by the ability of added palmitoyl-CoA to elicit O2 consumption, H2O2 production, and O2-dependent NAD reduction. The

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.
