As a function that balances the biosynthetic process, metabolic pathways are primarily responsible for maintaining cell growth and survival. The study of the targets of metabolic pathways in tumors and other metabolic diseases has become a major current interest. Through transcription and translation downstream of metabolism, the metabolites produced by the body can be key indicators for identifying abnormalities in metabolic pathways. Creative Proteomics has developed a O2K from Oroboros-based metabolic assay service.
The O2K performs high resolution respirometry, perfect for small tissue samples (permeabilized or not) and isolated mitochondria. The Core owns two systems with two chambers each allowing for four simultaneous measurements to increase workflow. There are many experimental designs possible depending on each investigators needs. Example: Buffer -> Tissue Sample -> ADP -> Substrate such as Pyruvate/Malate -> Rotenone (Complex I inhibitor) -> Succinate (Substrate for Complex II) -> Oligomycin (ATP Synthase Inhibitor) -> FCCP (Uncoupler)
Our O2K from Oroboros-based metabolic assay service enables the identification and precise quantification of specific metabolites in biological systems in vitro and in vivo. If you are interested, please feel free to contact us.
