Product description
Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, also known as fructose 1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (FBP, EC 3.1.3.11), is a key enzyme in the gluconeogenesis pathway. Different gluconeogenic substrates are converted to 1,6-bisphosphate fructose under the action of various enzymes and then hydrolyzed to fructose 6-phosphate and inorganic phosphate by FBP. The abnormal expression of this enzyme is closely related to certain diseases. This assay kit provides a simple, sensitive, and rapid method for determination: FBP catalyzes the reaction of 1,6-bisphosphate fructose and water to produce fructose 6-phosphate and inorganic phosphate, which interacts with an enzyme complex. The NADPH produced in this process then reacts with a specific color-developing probe to form a colored substance. By detecting the increase rate of this colored substance, the activity of FBP can be calculated.
