Product overview
Maltose Phosphorylase Assay Kit (Fluorometric) (ab273317) is the first commercial assay to determine the Maltose Phosphorylase activity in different bacterial lysates. The assay converts maltose to produce Glucose, which is then detected by a set of enzymatic reactions to generate a fluorescent product with a Ex/Em 535/587 nm. The fluorescence signal is directly proportional to the Maltose Phosphorylase activity.
This Kit is rapid, sensitive and a convenient tool for detecting Maltose Phosphorylase activity. It can detect as low as 0.5 mU under the assay conditions.

Relevance
Maltose phosphorylase is a dimeric enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of maltose and inorganic phosphate into beta D glucose 1 phosphate and glucose without requiring any cofactors, such as pyridoxal phosphate. The enzyme is part of operons that are involved in maltose/malto oligosaccharide metabolism. -
