| Description | Glycogen is a macromolecular polysaccharide composed of glucose and serves as one of the primary storage forms of sugar. It is mainly stored in the liver and muscles as reserve energy, referred to as liver glycogen and muscle glycogen, respectively. Liver glycogen regulates blood glucose Glycogen is a macromolecular polysaccharide composed of glucose and serves as one of the primary storage forms of sugar. It is mainly stored in the liver and muscles as reserve energy, referred to as liver glycogen and muscle glycogen, respectively. Liver glycogen regulates blood glucose concentration; when blood sugar rises, glycogen can be synthesized in the liver, and when blood sugar decreases, liver glycogen is broken down into glucose to supplement blood sugar. Therefore, liver glycogen is crucial for maintaining the relative balance of blood glucose. Muscle glycogen is the storage form of sugar in muscles. During strenuous exercise that consumes large amounts of blood sugar, muscle glycogen cannot be directly broken down into blood sugar but must first decompose to produce lactic acid, which circulates to the liver via the bloodstream and is converted into liver glycogen and glucose through gluconeogenesis. Detection Principle: Glycogen is extracted using a strong alkaline extraction buffer. Under strong acidic conditions, it forms a blue compound with the anthrone chromogen, which has a characteristic absorption peak at 620 nm. Within a certain concentration range, the glycogen content is linearly related to the absorbance at 620 nm. The glycogen content in the sample can be calculated based on the standard curve.

These endonucleases will cut off genomic DNA between nucleosomes and produce 180 bp-200 BP DNA fragments, which appear as a specific ladder pattern in agarose gel electrophoresis. When double strand or single strand breaks occur in When apoptosis occurs, some DNA endonucleases will be activated. These endonucleases will cut off genomic DNA between nucleosomes and produce 180 bp-200 BP DNA fragments, which appear as a specific ladder pattern in agarose gel electrophoresis. When double strand or single strand breaks occur in genomic DNA, a large number of sticky 3'-oh ends will be generated, which can interact with YF under the catalysis of deoxyribonucleotide terminal transferase (TDT) ®/ CY dUTP binding can directly detect apoptotic cells by fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry. This kind of method is called terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated nick end labeling (TUNEL). Because normal or proliferating cells have almost no DNA breaks, there is no 3'-oh formation and they can rarely be stained. TUNEL method can stain intact single apoptotic nuclei or apoptotic bodies in situ, can accurately reflect the typical biochemical and morphological characteristics of apoptosis, and can detect a very small number of apoptotic cells, so it is widely used in the study of apoptosis. This kit has a wide range of applications and can be used to detect apoptosis in frozen or paraffin sections, as well as cultured adherent cells or suspended cells. It can selectively detect apoptotic cells, but not necrotic cells or cells with DNA strand breaks caused by irradiation and drug treatment. This kit detects cell apoptosis with a short time-consuming, one-step staining reaction and can be detected after washing.

Follow the most common principles of primer design.2.Based on mature miRNA sequences, replacing U with T is the most basic and simplest design method.3.The Tm value of the downstream primer provided in the reagent kit is 63.6 ℃, and the Tm value of the upstream primer should be designed to be around 63.6 ℃ as much as possible.4. If the Tm value of the primer directly designed according to principle "2" is too low, several bases (preferably G or C bases) can be added to the 5 'end of the primer; One or several A bases can also be added at the 3 'end; Alternatively, both the 5 'and 3' ends can be modified simultaneously.5.If the Tm value of a primer designed directly according to principle "2" is too high, several bases can be removed from the 5 'or 3' end of the primer.Notes:1. Before using the reagent, please gently mix it upside down to avoid foaming, and use it after a brief centrifugation.2. The amount of miRNA first strand cDNA added should not exceed 10% of the volume of Real time PCR.3. For special detection systems, high content of cDNA templates can easily lead to non-specific amplification. Dilute cDNA appropriately (10 or 100 times dilution) based on the abundance of detected miRNAs.4. The 2x miRNA qPCR Mixture in this product contains SYBR Green I and ROX dyes. When storing this product or preparing PCR reaction solution, strong light exposure should be avoided.5. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing of this product. Repeated freezing and thawing may cause a decrease in product performance. This product can be stored at -20 ℃ for long-term storage. If frequent use is required in the short term, the 2xmiRNA qPCR Mixture can be stored at 2-8 ℃. However, the Reverse primer still needs to be stored at -20 ℃.Operation steps:1. Melt 2 x miRNA qPCR Mixture and Reverse Primer at room temperature (10 µ M). 2.

It can be used for monitoring of diacetylation of Product DescriptionAcetyl esterase (sialate-O-acetylesterase) is a recombinant protein from Tannerella forsythia, ATCC 43037 strain, expressed in Escherichia coli. The enzyme removes acetyl groups attached via an O- group, mainly 9-, 8- and 7-. It can be used for monitoring of diacetylation of sialic acids on products such as erythropoietin (EPO).The Zyme Acetyl Esterase Kit removes 9-, 8- and 7-O-acetyl groups from released sialic acids, released glycans or glycoproteins. It is commonly used for the characterization of highly-sialylated biotherapeutics such as EPO, FSH and blood clotting factors.Molecular Weight76.3 kDContentsAcetyl esterase – PBS pH7.5 buffer containing 10 mM Tris-HClReaction Buffer – 500 mM sodium acetate pH5.5Number of SamplesSufficient for up to 50 samples.Amount of SampleUp to 10 µg glycoprotein, up to 2.5 µg released glycans and up to 1 µg free sialic acid per digestion.Suitable SamplesAcetyl esterase (sialate-O-acetylesterase) can act upon complex glycoprotein samples, such as erythropoietin (EPO), bovine submaxillary mucin and oral epithelial cell-bound glycans, and on N- and O-glycans released from a glycoprotein. Either fluorescently labelled or unlabelled glycans are suitable. It can also be used on released sialic acids.Unit DefinitionOne unit (U) of acetyl esterase is defined as the amount of enzyme required to produce 300 µmole of 4-nitrophenol and acetate in 1 minute at 30°C in a buffer containing 50 mM Tris-HCl, 140 mM NaCl, pH 8.5, from 4-nitrophenyl acetate, a chromogenic esterase substrateStorageProtect from sources of heat and light. When stored correctly, the enzyme should be stable for 24 months from date of purchase. Exposure to ambient temperatures (20 – 26°C) over 3 days does not result in a reduction of enzymatic activity.ShippingThe product should be shipped at 4°C.HandlingEnsure that any glass, plastic ware or solvents used with this item are free of environmental carbohydrates. Use powder-free gloves for all sample handling procedures and avoid contamination with environmental carbohydrate.SafetyPlease read the Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) for all chemicals used. All processes involving labelling reagents should be performed using appropriate personal safety protection – safety glasses, chemically resistant gloves (e.g. nitrile), lab coat, and when appropriate, in a laboratory fume cupboard.For research use only.
