Background: Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PDH: EC 1.1.1.49) is a cytosolic enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway, a metabolic pathway that supplies reducing energy to cells (such as erythrocytes) by maintaining the level of the co-enzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH). The NADPH in turn maintains the level of glutathione in these cells that helps protect the red blood cells against oxidative damage. Of greater quantitative importance is the production of NADPH for tissues actively engaged in biosynthesis of fatty acids and/or isoprenoids, such as liver, mammary gland, adipose tissue, and adrenal gland. MyBioSource's PicoProbe Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Assay kit provides a quick and easy method for monitoring G6PDH activity in a wide variety of samples. In this assay, G6PDH converts G6P into pyruvate and NADPH, which further reduces PicoProbe to generate an intense fluorescence product (Ex/Em = 535/587 nm). This kit is simple, sensitive and high-throughput adaptable and can detect as low as 1 uU of G6PDH activity.
Summary: Detection method- Fluorescence (Ex/Em = 535/587 nm)
Application- Measurement of G6PDH activity in various tissues and cells - Evaluation of pentose phosphate pathway

Measurement of G6PDH activity in various tissues and cells Evaluation of pentose phosphate pathway. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the PicoProbe Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase 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 "PicoProbe Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase, 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
