  • Product overview

    Abcam provides a simple, direct and automation-ready procedure for measuring asparaginase activity in biological samples. In the assay, Asparaginase hydrolyzes asparagine to generate aspartic acid, which can be detected colorimetrically (λ=570 nm) or fluorescently (Ex/Em = 535/590 nm) using a coupled enzymatic reaction.
    Visit our FAQs page for tips and troubleshooting.

  • Notes

    Asparaginase (EC 3.5.1.1) is a homotetramer that catalyzes the hydrolysis of asparagine to aspartic acid and ammonia and exhibits about a 2-4% activity on glutamine and 5% on D-asparagine. Asparaginase does not occur naturally in humans but is found in bacteria, plants and many animals (e.g. guinea pigs). The enzyme has been used to reduce acrylamide, a suspected carcinogen, produced in fried starchy food products and to treat acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and some other hematopoietic neoplasms (e.g. multiple myeloma). Metabolization of asparagine prevents acrylamide formation in fried foods (Maillard reaction). The enzyme's antineoplastic effects are based on the inability of cancer cells (unlike healthy cells) to synthesize asparagine. However, the enzyme is not without some antigenicity and toxicity so it is very important to measure its activity in biological samples or monitor its activity during therapy.

Can we keep/stored the blood sample in EDTA or how we have to keep blood sample which should not interfere for the estimation of Aspartate using Asparaginase Assay kit of ABCAM make. Please send the solution for the same as soon as possible. Thanks


It is ideal to collect serum from fresh blood samples, aliquot them and store at -80 degrees C for short periods of time (a couple of months) for this assay. EDTA is usually avoided in enzymatic assays because of its chelating properties.

We have Asparaginase injection but how your kit will work. Kit contains substrate enzyme conversion mix, how there will act to the enzyme. Whatever you send that is a kit procedure I want to know about the role of reaction mix.

This assay works on the principle of the Asparaginase present in your samples to hydrolyze asparagine to produce aspartic acid. This aspartic acid has to be further converted to another intermediate which finally reacts with the probe on order to generate...

we are not so certain that whole blood can be used as a sample type with this kit.
The red colour of the blood will interfere significantly with the final reading.
We would recommend using plasma/serum samples for this purpose. Plasma/serum can b...
