Kit's description
In eukaryotic cells, Isocitrate Dehydrogenase (IDH1, IDH2 and IDH3) catalyzes the interconversion of Isocitrate and α-Ketoglutarate. In human cancers, IDH mutations can cause a gain-of-function, which reduces its affinity for isocitrate and facilitates the conversion of α-ketoglutarate to D-2-Hydroxyglutarate in the presence of NADP. D-2-Hydroxyglutarate (D2HG) is present at low level in normal cells and tissues, but is significantly elevated in metabolic diseases and various cancers. Therefore, detection of elevated D2HG is an important biomarker for early diagnosis, prognosis and the development of therapeutic strategies against these maladies. BioVision’s PicoProbe™ D-2-Hydroxyglutarate Assay Kit provides a convenient method to detect low levels of D2HG in biological samples. In this assay, D-2-Hydroxyglutarate is oxidized to α-Ketoglutarate in the presence of D2HG Enzyme Mix and Substrate Mix. The intermediate reduces the PicoProbe™ to generate fluorescence which is directly proportional to the amount of D2HG present in the samples. This assay kit is fast, sensitive, easy to use and high-through adaptable. It can measure D-2-Hydroxyglutarate levels less than 0.1 µM in various samples.
