Human UGP2 ELISA Kit (HUFI05809)

UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase 2 (UGP2) is a key enzyme in carbohydrate metabolism, catalyzing the reversible synthesis of UDP-glucose from glucose-1-phosphate and UTP. This colorimetric ELISA Kit from Assay Genie quantifies UGP2 protein concentrations in human research samples, supporting investigations into glycogen biosynthesis, galactose metabolism, and the metabolic reprogramming observed in several cancers.

Researchers studying hepatocellular carcinoma and other malignancies where UGP2 expression has been linked to tumor growth and metastasis can apply this assay to measure endogenous UGP2 levels in cell lysates and tissue homogenates. The kit also fits workflows exploring UDP-glucose availability for glycoprotein and glycolipid biosynthesis, as well as glycogen storage studies.

The 96 Assays format provides enough wells for a standard curve and multiple sample replicates. Reagents should be stored refrigerated upon arrival and protected from repeated freeze-thaw cycles to preserve antibody binding activity. A microplate reader capable of measuring absorbance is required, along with standard laboratory pipettes and wash buffer.

This product is for research use only and is compatible with cell culture supernatants, tissue extracts, and other biological sample types prepared from human sources. Each kit includes the pre-coated plate, detection antibody, recombinant standards, and assay buffer required to run the full protocol.
