Xanthine Oxidase (XOD) Activity Fluorometric Assay Kit

Intended Uses: This kit can be used to measure Xanthine Oxidase (XOD) activity in serum, plasma, and animal tissue samples.

Principle of the Assay: Hypoxanthine are oxidized by xanthine oxidase (XOD) to produce xanthine and super oxygen anion, which will quickly converte to hydrogen peroxide in the system, and then, in the role of peroxidase, hydrogen peroxide can oxidize the non-fluorescent probe to fluorescent substance. By measuring the fluorescence value, the corresponding the activity of xanthine oxidase can be calculated.

Background/Introduction: Xanthine oxidase (XOD) is widely distributed in the tissue and cell cytoplasm of human heart, lung, liver and so on, and the mucosa of small intestine is the most abundant. XOD in serum mainly comes from liver cells. When liver cells are damaged, the content of XOD in serum will increase sharply, which is of great significance for the identification of hepatocellular jaundice and obstructive jaundice. In addition, when XOD is abnormally active in the body, it will lead to the generation and excessive accumulation of a large amount of uric acid, leading to hyperuricemia and gout.

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.

MBS2567665 is an assay kit targeting XOD. Also known as Xanthine Oxidase (XOD) Activity Fluorometric Assay Kit.
