In the Lipoxygenase Assay Kit (ab241038) lipoxygenase converts the LOX substrate to an intermediate that reacts
with the probe generating a fluorescent product. The increase in fluorescent signal can be recorded at Ex/Em
500/536 nm and is directly proportional to LOX activity.
The kit includes 5-lipoxygenase enzyme (LOX Enzyme) as a positive control. A lipoxygenase inhibitor that completely
inhibits lipoxygenase activity is also included to calculate the specific activity of LOX in biological samples.
The kit can detect as low as 0.004 mU/mg protein.
This product is manufactured by BioVision, an Abcam company and was previously called K978 Lipoxygenase Activity
Assay Kit (Fluorometric). K978-100 is the same size as the 100 test size of ab241038.
