Cell culture: Adherent or suspension cells.
Kit contains all necessary reagents for accurate measurement of Glycogen levels.
Shelf Life: 12 months
Background: Glycogen serves as the main carbohydrate storage in animals and can be converted to glucose readily. It is primarily found in the liver and muscle tissues. Glycogen is a branched biopolymer comprising of alpha-1,4 linkage with alpha-1,6 linkages occurring every 8-10 glucose units along the backbone. Abnormal ability to utilize glycogen is found in diabetes and in several genetic glycogen storage diseases. MyBioSource's Glycogen Assay kit II provides a simple, fast and robust way to measure Glycogen levels in various biological samples. This assay is suitable for measuring Glycogen levels in samples that contain reducing substances, which may interfere with the oxidase-based assays. In this assay, Glycogen is hydrolyzed into glucose, which is oxidized to form an intermediate that reduces a colorless Probe to a colored product with strong absorbance at 450 nm. This high-throughput suitable assay kit can detect less than 4 ug/ml of Glycogen in samples.
Summary: Detection method- Absorbance (450 nm)
Applications- The assay can detect less than 4 ug/ml of Glycogen in various tissues. Analysis of metabolism and cell signaling.

Product Notes
The GlycogenII (Catalog #AAA841728) is an Assay Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "GlycogenII, 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
