Used in plant biology research to quantify uridine diphosphate glucose pyrophosphorylase (UGPase) enzyme levels in plant tissues. This ELISA kit enables accurate measurement of UGPase, which plays a key role in carbohydrate metabolism, particularly in the synthesis of UDP-glucose—a critical molecule for cell wall formation, sucrose metabolism, and glycosylation processes. Researchers use this kit to study plant growth, stress responses, and energy metabolism in species such as rice, wheat, maize, and Arabidopsis. It is especially useful in experiments involving abiotic stress like drought, salinity, or cold, where changes in UGPase levels can indicate metabolic adaptation. The assay is applied in agricultural research and plant biotechnology to evaluate genetically modified plants or breeding lines with altered sugar metabolism.
