Xanthine Oxidase (XOD) Activity Assay Kit

Principle of the Assay: Xanthine Oxidase (XOD) is mainly present in milk, liver and spleen of mammals, belonging to aerobic dehydrogenases, which is an important enzyme in nucleic acid metabolism in the body. When hepatocytes are injured, this enzyme is released into the serum earlier than SGPT, and increase its activity in serum significantly, which has obvious significance for the identification of hepatocellular jaundice and it is used for the identification of obstructive jaundice. In the process of hypoxia, xanthine dehydrogenase quickly forms xanthine oxidase, which plays an important role in free radical production. XOD can catalyze hypoxanthine to xanthine, and at the same time while producing superoxide anion free radicals. In the presence of electron acceptor and chromogenic agent, the purplish red substance can be generated, and the vitality of XOD can be calculated by measuring the production of purplish red substance.

Intended Uses: This kit can measure xanthine oxidase (XOD) activity in serum, plasma and animal tissue samples.

Small volumes of XOD assay kit vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

MBS2571985 is an assay kit targeting XOD. Also known as Xanthine Oxidase (XOD) Activity Assay Kit.
