Fumarate is a tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle intermediate formed by the oxidation of succinate by succinate dehydrogenase. In the mammalian liver, Fumarate is also a product of the Urea cycle where its release in the cytosol leads to its conversion into malate and subsequently oxaloacetate while generating NADH in the cytosol. Deficiencies in fumarate hydratase are associated with increased cellular concentrations of fumarate and increased incidences of renal cell cancer. This is most likely due to fumarate-mediated upregulation of HIF1. The Fumarate Assay Kit provides a convenient tool for sensitive detection of the fumarate in a variety of samples.
Application
Fumarate Assay Kit has been used to determine the concentration of fumarate in samples.[1][2]
Suitability
Suitable for the detection of fumarate in a variety of samples including tissue, cells and serum
Principle
Fumarate is determined by an enzyme assay, which results in a colorimetric (450 nm) product, proportional to the fumarate present.

The FH gene encodes the fumarate hydratase of the Krebs cycle and functions as a homotetramer to catalyze the hydration of fumarate to malate. Mutations in FH result in uterine leiomyomas, a rare autosomal dominant inherited metabolic disease. However, how
Primary malignant cardiac tumors (PMCTs) are extremely rare. The apparent immunity of the heart to invasive cancer has attracted considerable interest given the continuously rising incidence of cancer in other organs. This study aims to determine the conditions that could
