6-Phosphofructokinase Activity Assay kit ab155898 is simple, robust, and rapid and can detect phosphofructokinase activity less than 1 mU.
In the PFK activity assay protocol, PFK (phosphofructokinase) converts fructose-6-phosphate and ATP to fructose-diphosphate and ADP. The ADP in the presence of substrate and enzyme mix is converted to AMP and NADH, which reduces a colorless probe to a colored product with strong absorbance at 450 nm.
PFK activity assay protocol summary:
- add samples and standards to wells
- add reaction mix
- analyze with a microplate reader over 20-60 minNotes
Phosphofructokinase (PFK) is a key glycolytic enzyme and plays a major regulatory role during glycolysis. This enzyme is present in bacteria, plants and animals. There are 2 types of PFKs - PFK1 and PFK2. In the presence of ATP, PFK1 & PFK2 catalyzes the conversion of fructose-6-phosphate to fructose-1,6-diphosphate and fructose-2,6-diphosphate respectively and ADP. PFK has 3 major isoforms in mammals: PFK-M (muscle), PFK-L (liver) and PFK-P (platelet).
