Bovine Transketolase (TKT) ELISA Kit

From Assay Genie, this Sandwich ELISA Kit is designed for the quantitative measurement of bovine Transketolase (TKT), also known by the synonyms TK and TKT1. Intended for research use only, it supports studies of carbohydrate metabolism and the pentose phosphate pathway, areas relevant to metabolic disease and neurodegeneration research.

The assay delivers a detection range of 0.156-10ng/mL with a sensitivity of 0.078ng/mL and recognises natural and recombinant bovine Transketolase. Compatible sample types include serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates, and other biological fluids. The target enzyme is a homodimer that catalyses the transfer of a two-carbon ketol group from a ketose donor to an aldose acceptor via a covalent intermediate with the cofactor thiamine pyrophosphate.

Reference data provided with the product covers UniProt code Q6B855, NCBI Gene ID 445425, NCBI accession NP_001003906.1, and a molecular weight of 67,906 Da. Values for intra-assay CV, inter-assay CV, linearity, and recovery are provided with the kit rather than specified in advance.
