Isocitrate Lyase (ICL) Activity Assay Kit is primarily used in research to study metabolic pathways, particularly the glyoxylate cycle, which is crucial for the survival of certain microorganisms and plants under specific conditions. This kit is essential for understanding how pathogens like Mycobacterium tuberculosis adapt to host environments by utilizing alternative carbon sources. Researchers employ it to investigate the enzyme's role in lipid metabolism and its potential as a drug target for treating infections. Additionally, it aids in plant biology studies, helping to explore mechanisms of seed germination and stress responses. The kit provides a reliable and efficient method for quantifying ICL activity, enabling precise analysis in various biological and biochemical studies.
