Peroxidase (POD) Activity Assay Kit (Plant samples)

Background: Plant peroxidase, a member of the superfamily of peroxidase, catalyzes the redox reaction between H2O2 and various reductants. The plant peroxidase has the same general structure and consists of iron porphyrin IX and ten alpha-helixes. Based on the difference of primary structure, the superfamily of plant peroxidase can be divided into three types: class I (intracellular type), class II (extracellular type of fungi) and class III (secreted type of plant).

Principle of the Assay: The peroxidase can catalyze the decomposition of H2O2 and produce water and oxygen. And oxygen oxidized pyrogallic acid to form yellow product. The activity of peroxidase can be calculated by measuring the absorbance at 420 nm.

Intended Uses: This kit can be used to measure the peroxidase (POD) activity in plant tissue samples, but not for serum (plasma).

Small volumes of POD assay kit vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

MBS2567983 is an assay kit targeting POD. Also known as Peroxidase (POD) Activity Assay Kit (Plant samples).
