Sphingomyelin Quantification Colorimetric Assay Kit
(ab287856) provides a simple and sensitive method for quantifying sphingomyelin
using colorimetry. In the assay, sphingomyelin is hydrolyzed into ceramide and
phosphorylcholine by sphingomyelinase. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP)
dephosphorylates phosphorylcholine to choline, which then reacts with
Sphingomyelin Enzyme Mix to produce an intermediate. The intermediate reacts
with a highly specific probe to generate color (OD 570 nm). The kit can detect
sphingomyelin in various biological samples as low as 10 µM. The Safety
Datasheet for this product has been updated for certain countries. Please check
