The Cis-Aconitase Activity Assay Kit is primarily used to measure the activity of aconitase, an enzyme involved in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. This kit is essential in research focused on cellular metabolism, particularly in studying mitochondrial function and energy production. It is widely applied in biochemistry and molecular biology labs to assess the impact of oxidative stress on aconitase activity, as the enzyme is sensitive to reactive oxygen species (ROS). Researchers use this kit to investigate conditions like metabolic disorders, aging, and diseases linked to mitochondrial dysfunction, such as neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. Additionally, it aids in evaluating the efficacy of antioxidants or therapeutic agents designed to protect or restore mitochondrial function. The assay is straightforward, providing reliable and reproducible results, making it a valuable tool for both basic and applied research.
