The Ornithine Aminotransferase (δ-OAT) Activity Assay Kit is primarily used in research and diagnostic laboratories to measure the activity of the enzyme ornithine aminotransferase. This enzyme plays a crucial role in the urea cycle and amino acid metabolism, making the kit essential for studying metabolic disorders such as hyperornithinemia and gyrate atrophy of the choroid and retina. By quantifying δ-OAT activity, researchers can assess the efficiency of the urea cycle, investigate the biochemical pathways involved in ornithine metabolism, and evaluate the impact of genetic mutations or drug treatments on enzyme function. Additionally, the kit is valuable in clinical settings for diagnosing and monitoring patients with suspected metabolic diseases, aiding in the development of targeted therapeutic strategies. Its application extends to pharmaceutical research, where it is used to screen potential compounds that modulate δ-OAT activity for drug development.
