Glutamate is an important chemical in general metabolism
BioAssay Systems’ EnzyChrom™ glutamate assay kit is based on glutamate dehydrogenase catalyzed oxidation of glutamate, in which the formed NADH reduces a formazan (MTT) Reagent. The intensity of the product color, measured at 565 nm, is proportionate to the glutamate concentration in the sample.
It is also a crucial mammalian neurotransmitter that is believed to be involved in a number of neurological and psychiatric disorders such as lateral sclerosis, lathyrism, autism and Alzheimer’s disease. Glutamate is also widely used as a flavor enhancer in the food industry. Simple, direct and automation-ready. Procedures for measuring glutamate concentration are very desirable.
