Description

Citrate Lyase is a critical enzyme that catalyzes the cleavage of citrate into oxaloacetate and acetate, a fundamental reaction in metabolic pathways. This product is essential for biochemical research, diagnostic applications, and industrial biocatalysis processes. It is particularly valuable for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, diagnostic, and food science industries requiring precise enzymatic activity for analytical and synthetic procedures.

Application

• Clinical Diagnostics: Key component in enzymatic assay kits for the quantitative determination of citrate in biological fluids like blood, serum, and urine.
• Biochemical Research: Used in metabolic pathway studies, enzyme kinetics experiments, and as a reagent for in vitro analysis of the citric acid cycle.
• Food & Beverage Analysis: Employed in enzymatic methods to measure citrate content in fruit juices, wines, and other food products for quality control.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Utilized in research for drug discovery targeting metabolic disorders and as a tool enzyme in biomanufacturing processes.
• Industrial Biocatalysis: Potential use in specialized synthesis where the cleavage or manipulation of citrate molecules is required.
