Related Product Information for Cyclooxygenase (COX) assay kit
Background/Introduction: Cyclooxygenase (COX), also known as prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase (PTGS, EC 1.14.99.1), is an enzyme that is responsible for the formation of important biological mediators called prostanoids, including prostaglandins, prostacyclin and thromboxane. COX is the central enzyme in the biosynthetic pathway to prostanoids from arachidonic acid. There are two known isoenzymes: COX-1 and COX-2. COX-1 is constitutively expressed in many tissues and is the predominant form in gastric mucosa and in kidney. COX-2 is not expressed under normal conditions in most cells, but elevated levels are observed during inflammation. Pharmacological inhibition of COX by non- steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) can provide relief from the symptoms of inflammation and pain. COX Activity Assay Kit provides a simple, sensitive, and high-throughput adaptable method to detect the peroxidase activity of COX in biological samples or purified/crude enzyme preparations. The kit includes COX-1 and COX-2 specific inhibitors to differentiate the activity of COX-1 and COX-2 as well as other peroxidases, which may be present in the sample. Detection limit: 6 uU/mg.

Product Notes
The Cyclooxygenase (COX) (Catalog #AAA841907) is an Assay Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. Measurement of COX activity in various biological samples and purified/crude enzyme preparations. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the Cyclooxygenase (COX) 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 "Cyclooxygenase (COX), 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
