Tyrosine Colorimetric Assay (TBS2070)

Description

Tyrosine (Tyr) is an aromatic amino acid derived from phenylalanine. It serves as a precursor for thyroid hormones, catecholamines, neurotransmitters, and melanin, including epinephrine, norepinephrine, dopamine, thyroid hormones, melanin, fumarate, and acetoacetate. Its metabolism is involved in energy production. The pathology of abnormal concentrations of Tyr is well-known in diseases including phenylketonuria, hypothyroidism, tyrosinemia, albinism, alkaptonuria and neurodegenerative diseases.

Tribioscience’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 410 nm), which is directly proportional to the amount of Tyr. Sample preparation is simple and does not require strenuous or complicated procedures. The assay can detect as low as 8 µM of Tyr in a variety of biological samples.

Application

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