Application

The kit is used for the detection of acid phosphatase activity in tissues, whole cell extracts, column fractions and purified enzyme. The kit contains all the reagents required for a fast and simple acid phosphatase detection. The kit contains a standard solution and a control enzyme.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Acid phosphatase is one of the acid hydrolases that normally reside in lysosomes. It is a marker for the identification of lysosomes in sub-cellular fractionations.

Ambient temperature reduction (ATR) can extend the lifespan of organisms, but the underlying mechanism is poorly understood. In this study, cellular degradation activity was evaluated in the muscle of an annual fish (Nothobranchius rachovii) reared under high (30 °C), moderate (25 °C)

Cobalamin (Cbl) utilization as a cofactor for methionine synthase and methylmalonyl-CoA mutase is dependent on the transport of Cbl through lysosomes and its subsequent delivery to the cytosol and mitochondria. We speculated that neuropathological conditions that impair lysosomal function (e.g.

Insufficient autophagy has been proposed as a mechanism of cellular aging, as this leads to the accumulation of dysfunctional macromolecules and organelles. Premature vascular aging occurs in hypertension. In fact, many factors that contribute to the deterioration of vascular function

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.
