Isocitrate Lyase (ICL) Activity Assay Kit is widely used in biochemical research to measure the activity of the enzyme isocitrate lyase, which plays a critical role in the glyoxylate cycle. This kit is particularly valuable in studies focused on microbial metabolism, as the glyoxylate cycle is essential for the survival of certain bacteria, fungi, and parasites under nutrient-limited conditions. Researchers utilize this kit to investigate the metabolic pathways of pathogens like Mycobacterium tuberculosis, as inhibiting ICL can be a potential strategy for developing new antimicrobial therapies. Additionally, it is employed in plant biology research to understand the role of the glyoxylate cycle in seed germination and post-germinative growth. The kit provides a reliable and efficient method for quantifying ICL activity, enabling scientists to explore enzyme kinetics, screen inhibitors, and study metabolic adaptations in various organisms.
