Product Overview:
Cayman’s α-Ketoglutarate (α-KG) Fluorometric Detection Assay provides a fluorescence-based method for quantifying α-KG in biological samples such as serum, plasma, urine, and tissue. It can also be utilized to determine intracellular and extracellular α-KG concentrations in cell culture samples. In this assay, alanine transaminase (ALT) deaminates α-KG to form pyruvate.{33073,33074} Pyruvate is then oxidized by pyruvate oxidase to yield acetyl phosphate, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and carbon dioxide.{33075} As H2O2 is produced, the cycling mechanism of horseradish peroxidase results in the concurrent reduction of H2O2 to H2O and oxidation of 10-acetyl-3,7-dihydroxyphenoxazine (ADHP) to produce the highly fluorescent compound resorufin.{33076} Resorufin fluorescence is analyzed with an excitation wavelength between 530-540 nm and an emission wavelength between 585-595 nm.

Cayman Chemical's mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.

Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.

Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.

Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
