Product overview
Fumarate Assay Kit ab102516 provides a convenient tool for sensitive detection of Fumarate in biological samples.
In the fumarate assay protocol, 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).
Fumurate assay protocol summary:
- add samples and standards to wells
- add reaction mix and incubate for 1 hr
- analyze with a microplate reader -
Notes
This product is manufactured by BioVision, an Abcam company and was previously called K633 Fumarate Colorimetric Assay Kit. K633-100 is the same size as the 100 test size of ab102516.
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.

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.
