Product Details

Alpha-ketoglutarate is produced by the oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate and is also the keto acid product of the deamination of glutamate. It exerts its influence in the TCA cycle as a rate determining intermediary of cellular energy metabolism. It also acts as anitrogen transporter that facilitates amino acid synthesis, while also inhibiting protein degradation in muscles.

Our Alpha-Ketoglutarate Assay Kits provide a simple and convenient method to measure alpha-KG in a 96-well plate format. Alpha-KG is transaminated resulting in the production of pyruvate, which is then detected with either a colorimetric or fluorometric probe. Each kit provides sufficient reagents for 100 assays, including blanks, standards, and unknown samples.
