General description

Acetate, the ionized form of acetic acid, is a critical metabolite in fatty acid and carbohydrate metabolism. The majority of acetate is utilized as the conjugate to coenzyme A (CoA), acetyl-CoA. Acetyl-CoA is a precursor to fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis and an important starting compound for the citric acid cycle. Acetyl-CoA also serves as a precursor for the synthesis of acetylcholine and as the donor for acetyl groups for post-translational acetylation reactions of histone and non-histone proteins. Acetate is generated from the metabolism of carbohydrates, amino acids, fatty acids, and ethanol.

The Acetate Assay kit provides a simple and direct procedure for measuring acetate in a variety of samples. Acetate concentration is determined by a coupled enzyme assay, which results in a colorimetric (450 nm) product proportional to the acetate present.

Application

Acetate colorimetric assay kit has been used to determine acetate concentrations calorimetrically.

Suitability

Suitable for the detection of acetate in serum, plasma, animal tissues (liver, kidney, muscle, heart etc.), cell culture (adherent or suspension cells) and food.

Principle

The Acetate Assay kit provides a simple and direct procedure for measuring acetate in a variety of samples. Acetate concentration is determined by a coupled enzyme assay, which results in a colorimetric (450 nm) product proportional to the acetate present.

Polyamines are small organic cations that are essential for cellular function in all kingdoms of life. Polyamine metabolism is regulated by enzyme-catalyzed acetylation-deacetylation cycles in a fashion similar to the epigenetic regulation of histone function in eukaryotes.
