Enzymes for Producing Free Fatty Acid Assay Kits
Free fatty acids (FFA, monoacylglycerols and diacylglycerols) are derived from triacylglycerol by cleavage of ester bonds due to the action of lipase, high temperature, and moisture Measurement of free fatty acids has become useful in monitoring and diagnosing various diseases and metabolic disorders (e.g., obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, cancer).
The free fatty acid assay kit uses a convenient, sensitive enzyme-based method for detecting long-chain free fatty acids in mammalian and other samples In the free fatty acid assay, fatty acids are converted to their CoA derivatives (coenzyme A), which are subsequently oxidized, leading to the formation of color/fluorescence Thus, fatty acids can be easily quantified by either colorimetric or fluorometric methods. Creative Enzymes provides raw materials, such as high-quality Acyl-CoA synthetase (EC 6.2.1.3) and Acyl-CoA oxidase (EC 1.3.3.6) to be used in the production of free fatty acid assay kits.
Creative Enzymes also provides other enzyme products for diagnostic uses. Please contact us for any product needs
