Catalase assay kit

Manufactured by Abcam
Sourced in United States, United Kingdom

The Catalase Assay Kit is a laboratory tool designed to measure the activity of the enzyme catalase. Catalase is an important antioxidant enzyme found in most living organisms that catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. This kit provides the necessary reagents and protocol to quantify catalase activity in various samples, such as cell lysates, tissues, or biological fluids.

Cells were grown to an OD500nm of 0.6 and cytosolic cell extracts were prepared as described above. Right before starting the assay, a working solution of 25 µg/ml lactoperoxidase and 0.5 M dicarboxidine dihydrochloride (both Sigma-Aldrich) was prepared. To determine the degradation of H2O2 by cytosolic protein extracts, 5 µg of protein extract were filled up with catalase assay buffer (Catalase Assay Kit, BioVision) to 200 µl. H2O2 was added to a final concentration of 2 mM and the extracts were incubated at 30 °C. To measure the H2O2 concentration remaining in the culture at certain time points, 25 µl of the cell extract was mixed with 500 µl working solution and absorbance at 450 nm was measured as described [25 (link)]. The experiments were done in triplicates.

Levels of serum catalase activity were measured using the catalase assay kit (BioVision Inc., Milpitas, CA, USA). Catalase was first reacted with H2O2 to produce water and oxygen, the unconverted H2O2 was reacted with the OxiRedTM probe and the absorbance was measured at 570 nm. GPx activity was determined using the Glutathione peroxidase activity assay kit (BioVision Inc., Milpitas, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer's protocol, and the absorbance was measured at 340 nm.

Catalase activity was measured by catalase assay kit (Abcam,UK) as per manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, PMA differentiated macrophages were treated with OxLDL in the presence and absence of cyclophilin A (100 ng/mL) for 24 h. Cells were harvested after treatment, washed with cold PBS twice and homogenized with 200 µL of cold assay buffer. To start the reaction 12 µL of 1 mM H2O2 was added and incubated for 30 min at 25 °C. The unconverted H2O2 was measured calorimetrically using OxiRed probe at 530 nm using microplate reader (Biorad laboratories, Germany). Catalase activity was calculated as the amount of H2O2 decomposed per minute at pH 4.5 at 25 °C.

To measure the activity of anti-oxidant enzyme catalase, H19-7 cells treated with different ω-3 fatty acids and induced with Aβ1-40 were collected. After washing with PBS, the catalase enzyme activity of samples was analyzed spectrophotometrically at 570 nm by using a Catalase Assay Kit (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA) according to manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, catalase first reacts with H2O2 to produce water and oxygen. Thereafter, the unconverted H2O2 will react with OxiRed probe to formulate a product which can be measured at 570 nm. A standard concentration of hydrogen peroxide was used to create a calibration curve and the results of the assay were expressed as microunits per microgram protein.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
