  • Product overview

    Abcam's Fumarate Detection Kit provides a convenient tool for sensitive detection of Fumarate in a variety of samples. The Fumarate Enzyme Mix recognizes fumarate as a specific substrate leading to proportional color development. The amount of fumarate can therefore be easily quantified using a colorimetric assay (λ = 450 nm). It can detect as low as 1 nmol of fumarate per well (20 µM).

  • Notes

    Fumarate (HO2CCH=CHCO2H-) is an intermediate in the Kreb's cycle used by cells to metabolize food to form ATP. In the mammalian liver, Fumarate is also a product of the Urea cycle where its release in the cytosol leads to its conversion into malate and subsequently oxaloacetate while generating NADH in the cytosol. The human skin naturally produces fumaric acid when exposed to sunlight. In fact, fumaric acid esters have been used to treat psoriasis, possibly due to an impaired production of fumaric acid in the skin. Fumaric acid has also been used in beverages, baking powders and candy.

    I have a question concerning the fumarate developer? Could you give me the color?

    The final colour development should be pink but the reaction mix should not be pink to begin with. Only once you add this to your samples, will the reaction initiate and lead to the pink colour development.

    Hi,

    I was wondering if you could provide some references of studies that used the Abcam fumarate detection kit (product ab102516)?
    I am considering using it to measure blood fumarate levels following a drug treatment.

    Thanks,

    Thank you for your enquiry.

    I can confirm that any publications that we are aware of will be listed on the datasheet. We have a dedicated team who spend time reviewing the literature to find articles that have used our products.

    Thank you very much for your interest in our kit ab102516 for fumarate detection.

    The laboratory confirmed that we haven’t tried this kit with microbial samples in-house and neither do we have any researcher feedback from such use. So alth...
