Product overview
Transketolase Activity Assay Kit (Fluorometric) (ab273310) is a simple, plate-based fluorometric assay for measuring Transketolase (EC 2.2.1.1) TKT activity in biological samples. In this assay, TKT transfers a two-carbon group from a donor keto sugar to an acceptor aldose sugar. The product formed converts a non-fluorescent probe to a fluorescent product via an enzymatic reaction in the presence of a developer and an enzyme mix.
The assay can detect as low as 5 µU of TKT activity in biological samples.
