| Product Introduction | Glycogen is a branched polymer of glucose that serves as the primary short-term energy reserve in animals, fungi, and some bacteria. Its levels fluctuate rapidly in response to feeding, fasting, and hormonal signals. Accurate measurement of glycogen content is crucial for research on diabetes, exercise physiology, hepatic metabolism, and microbial physiology. This kit involves the complete hydrolysis of glycogen to glucose using a highly specific amyloglucosidase that cleaves both α-1,4 and α-1,6 linkages, followed by glucose quantification. |
| Product Application | • Research on glycogen metabolism in liver, muscle, and adipose tissue. • Studies of metabolic diseases like diabetes and glycogen storage disorders. • Exercise physiology and sports science research. • Monitoring glycogen accumulation in microbial cultures (e.g., yeast, bacteria). |
| Product Advantages | • Specific Glycogen Hydrolysis: Uses an amyloglucosidase optimized to completely break down glycogen without significant hydrolysis of other glucans, ensuring specificity. • Correction for Free Glucose: Includes a parallel assay to measure free glucose in the sample, allowing for accurate calculation of glycogen-derived glucose. • Suitable for Various Tissues: The extraction protocol is effective for a wide range of tissues, including tough muscle fibers and lipid-rich liver samples. • Reliable & Reproducible: The enzymatic glucose detection (GOPOD) provides a stable, colorimetric endpoint with high reproducibility. |
