Short Description
Quantifies L-malate levels.
Development Stage
Research-Grade Lipid Metabolism Assay Development
Description
The LipidFlux™ Malate Assay Kit tracks intermediates in the TCA cycle and malate-aspartate shuttle, supporting research into cellular respiration and metabolic adaptation. The NADH-coupled system provides the sensitivity needed to investigate mitochondrial bioenergetics in various tissue types. This assay aids in understanding how metabolic modulators influence energy production and is valuable for studying diseases associated with mitochondrial dysfunction.
