Glycogen Assay Kits

Glycogen assay kits are available from a number of suppliers to quantify levels of glycogen in biological samples. Glycogen is a branched polymer of glucose important for energy generation, utilization, and storage in metabolic processes. Glycogen assays use the enzyme glucoamylase to hydrolyze glycogen and release glucose, which is then oxidized to produce a product that reacts with a probe. This results in a measurable color change, in which the intensity is proportional to the amount of glycogen in the sample. Glycogen assay kits can be used in the study of metabolic pathways and diseases, such as diabetes and liver dysfunction.
