Background: beta-N-Acetylglucosaminidase (NAG, EC 3.2.1.52) is a lysosomal enzyme that is expressed in various tissues, including kidney, liver and lungs. NAG can cleave N-acetyl-glucosamine, a monosaccharide derivative of glucose. Its concentration in urine is minimal due to its inability to cross the glomerular basal membrane. Increased concentration of NAG in urine indicates renal tubular cell breakdown. Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is the sudden loss of kidney functions, causing electrolyte imbalance, and retention of urea and other nitrogenous products. NAG has become one of the most studied and used biomarkers for the detection and identification of AKI. MyBioSource's NAG Activity Assay Kit provides a simple and sensitive method for monitoring NAG enzymatic activity. In this assay, NAG uses a synthetic p-nitrophenol derivative (R-pNP) as a NAG substrate and releases pNP which can be measured at absorbance (OD 400 nm). The assay can detect as low as 50 uU of NAG activity in a variety of samples.
Summary: Detection method- Absorbance (450 nm)
Application- Measurement of NAG in biological samples from different mammalian species

Product Notes
The beta-N-Acetylglucosaminidase (Catalog #AAA841489) is an Assay Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. Measurement of NAG in biological samples from different mammalian species. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the beta-N-Acetylglucosaminidase for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "beta-N-Acetylglucosaminidase, Assay Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
