Abcam, ab284550-100Test, Carbonic Anhydrase (CA) Activity Assay Kit (Colorimetric)

Key facts
Detection method:Colorimetric,
Sample types:Serum,
Assay type:Quantitative,
Assay Platform:Microplate (12 x 8 well strips)

Product details:
Carbonic Anhydrase (CA) Activity Assay Kit (ab284550) can be used to measure CA activity in biological samples like serum and hemolysates, and also purified CA enzymes.
The assay utilizes the esterase activity of an active CA on an ester substrate which releases a chromophore. The released product can be easily quantified using an absorbance microplate reader. In the presence of a CA specific inhibitor, the enzyme loses its activity which results in a decrease of absorbance.
Other notes
This product was previously called K472 Carbonic Anhydrase (CA) Activity Assay Kit (Colorimetric). Biovision was acquired by Abcam in 2021.
Carbonic anhydrases (CA) are zinc enzymes present in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. They efficiently catalyze the reversible hydration of CO2 to bicarbonate.
