Product Information: Glycogen Assay Kit: Colorimetric & Fluorometric Assay for measuring Glycogen levels in a variety of Samples such as Tissue, Cells etc. within 30 min. Simple & Convenient. Detection Range: 0.0004 to 2 mg/ml. 100 Assays.
Background: Glycogen is the primary short term energy storage molecule in animals, synthesized primarily in the liver and muscle. Glycogen is a branched glucose polymer, in alpha-1,4 linkage, with branching via alpha-1,6 linkage. Abnormal ability to utilize glycogen is found in diabetes and in several genetic glycogen storage diseases. The MyBioSource Kit is an easy and accurate assay to measure glycogen levels in
biological samples. In the assay, glucoamylase hydrolyzes the glycogen to glucose which is then specifically oxidized to produce a product that reacts with OxiRed probe to generate color (570 nm) and fluorescence (Ex 535/Em 587). The assay can detect glycogen 0.0004 to 2 mg/ml.
Summary: Detection method- Absorbance (570 nm) or Fluorescence (Ex/Em 535/587 nm)
Species reactivity- Mammalian
Applications- The assay can detect glycogen 0.0004 to 2 mg/ml.
