Sulfatase Activity Assay Kit (ab204731) provides a quick and easy way to determine sulfatase activity. The kit measures the hydrolysis of a sulfate ester to 4-nitrocatechol, which can be detected at OD=515 nm. The kit is suitable for measuring activity of purified enzyme as well as sulfatase from biological samples. The limit of detection is below 1 mU.
This product is manufactured by BioVision, an Abcam company and was previously called K675 Sulfatase Activity Assay Kit (Colorimetric). K675-100 is the same size as the 100 test size of ab204731.
Sulfatases (EC 3.1.6) are enzymes in the esterase class that catalyze the hydrolysis of sulfate esters from a wide range of biological molecules, including steroids, carbohydrates, and proteins. They can be found in intracellular and extracellular spaces and are distributed in a wide range of cells and tissues. Intracellular sulfatases are commonly found localized within the lysosome. Genetic defects in sulfatase can result in certain lysosomal storage disorders and abnormal expression can contribute to certain hormone-dependent cancers, such as breast and prostate cancer.
