OverviewpdfSDSpdfProtocol


Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+) are two important cofactors found in cells. NADH is the reduced form of NAD+, and NAD+ is the oxidized form of NADH. It forms NADP with the addition of a phosphate group to the 2' position of the adenyl nucleotide through an ester linkage. NADP is used in anabolic biological reactions, such as fatty acid and nucleic acid synthesis, which require NADPH as a reducing agent. The traditional NAD/NADH and NADP/NADPH assays are done by monitoring of NADH or NADPH absorption at 340 nm. This method suffers low sensitivity and high interference since the assay is done in the UV range that requires expensive quartz microplate. Our Amplite® NADP/NADPH Ratio Assay Kit provides a convenient method for sensitive detection of NADP, NADPH and their ratio. The NADPH probe is a chromogenic sensor that has its maximum absorbance at ~460 nm upon NADH reduction. The absorbance increase at ~460 nm is directly proportional to the concentration of NADPH in the solution. The NADPH probe can recognize NADPH in an enzyme-free reaction, and the signal can be easily read by an absorbance microplate reader at ~460 nm. The Amplite® Colorimetric NADPH Assay Kit provides a sensitive assay to detect as little as 3 µM NADPH in a 100 µL assay volume. The assay can be performed in a convenient 96-well or 384-well microtiter-plate format.

Protocol Summary
  1. Prepare 25 µL of NADPH standards and/or test samples
  2. Add 25 µL of NADP Extraction Solution
  3. Incubate at 37 °C for 15 minutes
  4. Add 25 µL of Neutralization Solution
  5. Add 75 µL of NADP/NADPH working solution
  6. Incubate at RT for 15 minutes to 2 hours
  7. Monitor Absorbance at 460 nm
Important Note
  1. It is highly recommended to incubate the cells with Lysis Buffer (Component G) at 37 °C and use the supernatant for the experiment.
  2. Thaw one of each kit component at room temperature before starting the experiment.

CELL PREPARATION

For guidelines on cell sample preparation, please visit https://www.aatbio.com/resources/guides/cell-sample-preparation.html

PREPARATION OF STOCK SOLUTIONS

Unless otherwise noted, all unused stock solutions should be divided into single-use aliquots and stored at -20 °C after preparation. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles

NADPH standard solution (1 mM)

Add 200 µL of PBS buffer into the vial of NADPH standard (Component C) to have 1 mM (1 nmol/µL) NADPH stock solution.

PREPARATION OF STANDARD SOLUTIONS

For convenience, use the Serial Dilution Planner:
https://www.aatbio.com/tools/serial-dilution/15274

NADPH standard
Add 10 µL of 1 mM NADPH stock solution into 490 µL PBS buffer (pH 7.4) to generate 20 µM (20 pmols/µL) NADPH standard solution. Then take the 20 µM NADPH standard solution and perform 1:2 serial dilutions to get remaining serially diluted NADPH standards (NS7 - NS1). Note: Diluted NADPH standard solution is unstable, and should be used within 4 hours.

PREPARATION OF WORKING SOLUTION

  1. Add 8 mL of NADPH Probe buffer (Component B-II) to the bottle of NADP/NADPH Recycling Enzyme Mixture (Component A), and mix well.
  2. Add 2 mL NADPH Probe (Component B-I) into the same bottle (from Step 1) and mix well.

    Note        This NADP/NADPH working solution is enough for 125-200 assays. The working solution is not stable, use it promptly and avoid direct exposure to light.
