Human Probable arylformamidase (AFMID) ELISA Kit,Abbkine,KTE60956
• Do not mix components from different kit lots or use reagents beyond the kit expiration date.• Allow all reagents to warm to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before opening.• Pre-rinse the pipet tip with reagent, use fresh pipet tips for each sample, standard and reagent to avoid contamination. • Unused wells must be kept desiccated at 4 °C in the sealed bag provided.• Mix Thoroughly is very important for the result. It is recommended using low frequency oscillator or slight hand shaking every 10 minutes.• It is recommended that all samples and standards be assayed in duplicate or triplicate.

Scientific Background
Arylformamidase (AFMID) is the second enzyme of the kynurenine pathway metabolizing tryptophan to nicotinic acid and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide cofactors. Inhibition of AFMID by organophosphorus insecticides in developing chicken embryos is correlated with lowered NAD levels and severe teratogenesis. The cDNA sequence previously identified for mouse liver AFMID was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. Residues identified as potential catalytic triad members through sequence motif and homology modeling were mutated to alanine to probe their contributions to enzyme activity. The wild-type and mutant AFMIDs were expressed as amino terminal 6 x His-tagged recombinant proteins to facilitate purification. Three chromatography steps isolated highly purified proteins for enzyme activity comparisons.
