cyclooxygenase Protocols

Category: Pharmacology and Toxicology Protocols: Enzyme Assays Protocols

Protocol describes a procedure measuring cyclooxygenase activity by quantifying PGE2 produced by enzymatic conversion of arachidonic acid, in the presence or absence of potential inhibitors.  This high-throughput method has the advantage that it directly measures cyclooxygenase activity and requires little enzyme. - [Read ELISA Method Measure Inhibition COX Enzymes]

The cyclooxygenase (COX) reaction can be monitored by measurement of oxygen consumption, peroxidase co-substrate oxidation or prostaglandin (PG) detection. This protocol describes a procedure measuring cyclooxygenase activity by quantifying PGE2 produced by enzymatic conversion of arachidonic acid, in the presence or absence of potential inhibitors. - [Read ELISA Method to Measure Inhibition of the COX Enzymes Protocol]
