Tyrosine Colorimetric Assay

Description

Tyrosine (Tyr) is a nonessential amino acid. It makes from another amino acid called phenylalanine. Tyr is an essential component for the production of several important brain chemicals and hormones, including epinephrine, norepinephrine, dopamine, thyroid hormones, melanin, fumarate, and acetoacetate. The pathology of abnormal concentrations of Tyr is well-known in diseases including phenylketonuria, hypothyroidism, tyrosinemia, albinism, and alkaptonuria.

Tribioscienc’s Tyrosine Colorimetric Assay kit is a simple, and sensitive approach that can detect normal and abnormal concentrations of Tyr in biological fluids. The assay is based on the enzymatic oxidation of Tyr producing a stable signal (OD 492 nm), which is directly proportional to the amount of Tyr. Sample preparation is minimal and does not require strenuous or complicated procedures. The assay can detect as low as 15 µM of Tyr in a variety of biological samples.

Application

• Measurement of Tyrosine in various biological samples.
• Analysis of Tyrosine in pathological conditions.
