Introduction
Sarcosine is natural amino acid that is an important intermediate in the metabolism of choline. Sarcosine is an important component of proteins and plays a significant role in metabolic processes of living cells as a source of serine, creatine, purines and glutathione etc. Sarcosine is present in food sources like legumes, eggs, ham, turkey etc. It is used in a variety of industrial applications such as manufacturing of tooth paste and biodegradable surfactants. Sarcosine was recently reported to activate prostate cancer cells and as a possible marker for prostate cancer progression to metastasis(1). It is also used in adjunctive treatment for Schizophrenia (2) and depression (3).
Cell Technology’s Fluoro Sarcosine assay provides a reliable, sensitive fluorimetric method for the quantification of sarcosine in biological samples.The Fluoro Sarcosine detection kit utilizes a non-fluorescent detection reagent, which is reduced via an enzyme-coupled reaction in the presence of sarcosine. A sarcosine standard curve is generated to quantify sarcosine in the samples.
Key Benefits
- Easy to Use – No Wash Assay.
- Detection of Sarcosine in cells, serum, tissue extracts.
- Easy to Use 96-well Fluorescent Plate reader readout.

有几个疑问
1:荧光标记到细胞是标记到细胞表面还是细胞质内?
2:荧光应该随着细胞的分化和增殖逐渐消失?是不是分化增殖越快,荧光消失速度越快?
3:有哪些容易操作,成本便宜的荧光物质?
谢谢各位战友
1,逆转录病毒将GFP基因导入干细胞,这种办法在导入基因时好像比较麻烦,但是检测好像比较简单。
2,将雄性干细胞植入雌性动物,追踪Y染色体,即SRY基因,但是看文献上说SRY追踪的FISH技术复杂,费用高,但是还没有看到具体的技术步骤,也不知道具体要多少费用。
请多指教
