Alpha kg assay kit

Manufactured by Abcam

The Alpha-KG Assay Kit is a quantitative colorimetric assay designed to measure alpha-ketoglutarate (α-KG) levels in a variety of sample types, including cell lysates, tissue homogenates, and biological fluids. The kit utilizes an enzymatic reaction that produces a colored product, the intensity of which is proportional to the α-KG concentration in the sample.

Ammonia production and glutamine consumption levels were determined using Ammonia Assay Kit (Abcam) and Glutamine/Glutamate-Glo assay (Promega), respectively. Intracellular ROS levels were quantified using CM-H2DCFDA (Invitrogen). Intracellular ATP concentrations were measured by ATP bioluminescent somatic cell assay kit (Sigma-Aldrich). Intracellular α-KG levels were determined using alpha-KG Assay Kit (Abcam). Briefly, 2 × 106 cells were collected for each group and cell volume was estimated by comparing the size of the cell pellet with the size of the known volume of PBS. Cell pellets were homogenized and centrifuged. The supernatant was further deproteinized using Amicon 10k centrifugal filter (Millipore) and applied to alpha-KG measurement.

Quantifying α-Ketoglutarate in Hypoxic Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
WT and BBS Mut cells of MCF7 and HCC1806 cells subjected to 24 h of hypoxia were processed for α-ketoglutarate estimation. Briefly, equal number of cells were lysed using assay buffer provided in the alpha KG assay kit (Abcam, ab83431, lot no. GR3410863-1). The lysates were then deproteinized using perchloric acid and neutralized using 2 M KOH as per manufacturer's instructions. Finally, an equal amount of sample was taken, and the reaction was incubated at 37°C for 30 min. The absorbance was measured using a microplate reader set at an optical density of 450 nm.

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.
