Test Principle
alpha-Glucosidase (alpha-GC), also known as alpha-D-glucoside hydrolase, is widely distributed in nature, with a wide variety of species and different properties, and exists in almost all organisms. It has important physiological functions in carbohydrate metabolism in animals, plants and microorganisms. If alpha-GC is deficient, it leads to severe glycogen metabolism disorders and excessive glycogen accumulation, which can cause Pompah's disease (an autosomal recessive inherited glycogen storage disease, also known as glycogenosis type II). Long-term low alpha-GC activity in human tissues can cause muscle fiber destruction and muscle atrophy.The detection principle of this kit is that the chromogenic substance generated by the substrate reaction catalyzed by alpha-glucosidase has the maximum absorption at 400 nm, and the enzyme activity of alpha-GC can be reflected by measuring its OD value at 400 nm.

Product Notes
The alpha-GC (Catalog #AAA179652) 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 "alpha-Glucosidase (alpha-GC), 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
