The alkyl amino acid L-Leucine is one of the two amino acids that are degraded to give ketone bodies. The metabolism of leucine is started in muscle and it is metabolized to isovaleryl CoA via the synthesis of α-ketoisocaproate. Leucine provide a source of nitrogen for transport to the liver and kidney. A review of the extended leucine biosynthetic pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been published. The role of the various amino acids in nonproteinogenic pathways has been reviewed. This can be used to detect the activity of branched-chain amino acid aminotransferases. Leucine has been used as a molecular marker in the recovery of DNA from palaeontological samples for PCR analysis. L-Leucine is used in cell culture media and is a component of MEM amino acids solution.

Glucosamine Hydrochloride is an amino sugar and a prominent precursor in the biochemical synthesis of glycosylated proteins and lipids. Glucosamine is part of the structure of the polysaccharides chitosan and chitin, which compose the exoskeletons of crustaceans and other arthropods, cell walls in fungi and many higher organisms. Glucosamine is one of the most abundant monosaccharides.

Cellular senescence is a phenomenon by which normal cells cease to divide and enter a state of irreversible growth arrest. It is one of the most fundamental aspects of cellular behavior and generally believed to be associated with tumor suppressive mechanisms and an underlying cause of aging. Senescence-associated Β-galactosidase (SA-Β-gal), which is overexpressed in senescent cells, has been widely used as a marker of cellular senescence. Although X-gal is a well-known reagent used to detect SA-Β-gal, X-gal has the following disadvantages: 1) requirement of fixed cells due to poor cell-permeability, 2) low quantitative capability because of the difficulty in visually differentiating stained vs. non-stained cells 3) requirement for long stain times.

Anti-human complement C3 goat IgG, affinity purified, 100 μg. Product is the lyophilized powder of affinity purified goat IgG to human complement C3 and PBS buffer (pH 7.2) salts with 0.09% sodium azide. Goats were immunized with highly purified human C3 and the resulting antiserum was collected. Antibody was immunoaffinity purified off a C3 containing immunosorbent.

MPure Bacterial DNA Extraction Kit is used with the MPure-12 Nucleic Acid Purification System for extraction and purification of genomic DNA from both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

The Gliadin IgM ELISA Kit is intended for the measurement of IgM antibodies to Gliadin in a sample. This kit utilizes microtiter strips coated with gluten antigen purified from wheat. Packaging size: 96 Wells.

The 5-HIAA ELISA Kit is intended for the measurement of 5-Hydroxy-3-Indole Acetic Acid (5-HIAA) in urine. In this assay, 5-HIAA is quantitatively derivatized by methylation.

The High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hsCRP) ELISA Kit is intended for the quantitative determination of C-reactive protein in human serum. Enhanced sensitivity measurements of CRP can be useful for the detection and evaluation of infection, tissue injury, inflammatory disorders and associated diseases.
