DESCRIPTION

General description

Zinc, one of the most abundant trace metals in living organisms, contributes to a variety of biological functions including neurological development, nucleic acid metabolism, and signal transduction. Zinc is utilized as a cofactor for many enzymes, such as carbonic anhydrase, which is important to carbon dioxide regulation and carboxypeptidase, which cleaves peptide linkages.[1][2] It is involved in various cellular processes, such as immune function, wound healing, protein synthesis, DNA synthesis and cell division.[1] Zinc facilitates normal growth and development during pregnancy, childhood and adolescence. It also exhibits antioxidant properties and is essential for proper sense of taste and smell.[1]

The Zinc Assay kit provides a simple and direct procedure for measuring zinc in a variety of samples, including serum, plasma, urine, or cerebral spinal fluid (CSF). Zinc ions bind to a ligand, which results in a colorimetric (560 nm) product proportional to the amount of zinc present.

Suitability

Suitable for measuring zinc concentrations in a variety of samples, including serum, plasma, urine, or cerebral spinal fluid (CSF).
