Application

The kit provides the reagents required for a fast and convenient detection of β-N-Acetylglucosaminidase activity in cell lysates, tissue homogenates or purified enzyme. It is a useful tool for the detection of lysosomes in fractionated cell/tissue samples.

Biochem/physiol Actions

N-acetyl-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) in mammals is a lysosomal enzyme, which takes part in the intracellular degradation of glycolipids and glycoproteins. High activities of this enzyme have been detected in human kidney, lung and liver lysosomes. Elevated levels of serum NAG are associated with certain forms of cancer.

Analysis Note

The kit assay is based on the hydrolysis of NAG substrate (NP-GLcNAc) by the enzyme. The enzymatic hydrolysis of the substrate liberates p-nitrophenylate ion. The reaction product is detected colorimetrically at 405 nm.

Lysosomes are degradation and signaling organelles that adapt their biogenesis to meet many different cellular demands; however, it is unknown how lysosomes change their numbers for cell division. Here, we report that the cyclin-dependent kinases CDK4/6 regulate lysosome biogenesis during

Glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) is a ubiquitously expressed serine/threonine kinase involved in a variety of functions ranging from the control of glycogen metabolism to transcriptional regulation. We recently demonstrated that GSK-3β inhibition triggered ASK1-JNK-dependent apoptosis in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)

Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) compartmentalizes transcriptional condensates for gene expression, but little is known about how this process is controlled. Here, we showed that depletion of IPMK, encoding inositol polyphosphate multikinase, promotes autophagy and lysosomal function and biogenesis in a
