Product Information: Acetate Colorimetric Assay Kit: Measure Acetate in Serum & Plasma, Cells, Animal Tissues & Food. Rapid, Simple & Sensitive. Detection limit: less than 20 uM. 100 Assays. Background: Acetate is an important component for biosynthesis. In living organisms, acetylation/deacetylation of proteins is critical for post-translational regulation of their functions. When bound to CoA, Acetyl-CoA is central to metabolism of carbohydrates and fats. It is also involved in the synthesis o
