Acetolactate Synthase Activity Assay kit

Acetolactate Synthase (ALS, EC 4.1.3.18), also known as Acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS). ALS is present in plant growth and is a key enzyme in the induction of the biosynthesis of the branched-chain amino acids (Ile, Leu, and Val) during the The key enzyme in the first stage of biosynthesis of branched chain amino acids (Ile, Leu, Val). ALS catalyzes the formation of acetolactate from pyruvate, which is decarboxylatedundercertainconditions to form acetoin, which reacts with creatine and alpha-naphthol under alkaline conditionstoformared substance with a maximum absorbance value at 525 nm.
