Citrate synthase is a vital enzyme in cellular metabolism, playing a central role in the TCA cycle and linking energy production with biosynthetic pathways. Increased activity of mitochondrial citrate synthase is associated with metabolic and endocrine abnormalities such as obesity. Its activity and regulation are crucial for maintaining cellular energy balance and supporting various metabolic processes. Impairments in citrate synthase function can lead to severe metabolic disorders, highlighting its importance in normal physiology and potential role in pathologies such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases. AkrivisBio’s Citrate Synthase Activity Assay is a simple, sensitive means of determining citrate synthase activity in a variety of biological samples with a sensitivity below 1 mU per well.
