Related Product Information for Methionine assay kit
Background: Methionine is an essential amino acid in animals and therefore must be obtained through dietary sources. High methionine levels can be detected in eggs, meat, and fish as well as sesame seeds, Brazil nuts, and some other plant seeds. Most fruits and vegetables contain low levels of methionine. In addition to its conventional role in protein structure and function, methionine acts as substrate in the synthesis pathway for other amino acids such as cysteine and taurine as well as the important antioxidant glutathione. Methionine is critical for the metabolism of humans and many other species. Methionine plays an important role in the process of angiogenesis which is the growth of new blood vessels. The consumption of methionine supplements may benefit in cases of copper poisoning. Consuming too much methionine, however, has been linked to cancer growth in a number of studies. The Methionine Assay Kit is a simple fluorometric assay that measures the amount of total methionine present in biological samples in a 96-well microtiter plate format. Each kit provides sufficient reagents to perform up to 100 assays*, including blanks, methionine standards, and unknown samples. Sample methionine concentrations are determined by comparison with a known methionine standard. The kit has a detection sensitivity limit of 1.5 uM methionine.

Product Notes
The Methionine (Catalog #AAA44688) 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 "Methionine, 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
