Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ α-Glucosidase hydrolyzes carbohydrates by acting on terminal, non-reducing a(1→4)-linked D-glucose residues with the release of D-glucose. Defects in α-glucosidase have been implicated in Pompe disease and diabetes._x000D_ Application_x000D_ α-Glucosidase Activity Assay Kit has been used to measure the activity of a-glucosidase._x000D_ Features and Benefits_x000D_ Compatible with high-throughput handling systems._x000D_ Suitability_x000D_ Suitable for the detection of α-glucosidase activity in biological samples._x000D_ Principle_x000D_ In this assay,α-glucosidase activity is determined by a reaction in which α-glucosidase hydrolyzes p-nitrophenyl-α-D-glucopyranoside resulting in the formation of a colorimetric (405 nm) product, proportional to the α-glucosidase activity present
