Used in biochemical and medical research to quantify α-glucosidase enzyme levels in plant samples. Helps study enzyme activity related to carbohydrate metabolism, particularly in plant physiology and stress response studies. Widely applied in agriculture and plant biotechnology to assess metabolic changes under environmental stresses such as drought, salinity, or pathogen attack. Also used in screening plant extracts for natural inhibitors of α-glucosidase, supporting research into functional foods and nutraceuticals with potential blood glucose management properties. Suitable for lab-based ELISA assays requiring high sensitivity and specificity in plant-derived samples.
