Background: Isocitric acid (HOOC-CHOH-CH (-COOH)-CH?-COOH) is an intermediate of the Krebs TCA cycle, positioned between citrate and alpha-keto-glutarate. It is the branch point from which the glyoxylate shunt operates in plants and lower organisms. Isocitrate is found in substantial concentrations in many fruits and vegetables as well as in foods produced from these raw materials. In the TCA cycle, isocitrate is oxidized by isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) to alpha-ketoglutarate with the generation of NAD(P)H. Loss of NAD-IDH has been implicated as a potential causative factor in retinitis pigmentosa. MyBioSource's Isocitrate Assay Kit provides a simple, sensitive and rapid means of quantifying isocitrate in a variety of samples. In the assay, isocitrate is oxidized with the generation of NADPH which converts a nearly colorless probe to an intensely colored species with a lambdamax of 450nm. The Isocitrate Assay Kit can detect 1 to 20 nmoles (~0.2 - 5 ug) of isocitrate.
Summary: Detection method- Absorbance (450 nm)
Species reactivity- Mammalian
Application- Isocitrate Assay Kit can detect 1 to 20 nmoles (~0.2 - 5 ug) of isocitrate.

Product Notes
The Isocitrate (Catalog #AAA841791) 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 "Isocitrate, 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
