NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. sheds light on a critical application of Nitrotetrazolium Blue Chloride (CAS 298-83-9): the accurate determination of Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) activity. G6PD is a vital enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway, crucial for protecting red blood cells from oxidative damage. Its measurement is important in diagnosing G6PD deficiency, a common genetic disorder.

Nitrotetrazolium Blue Chloride acts as an excellent substrate for G6PD and other dehydrogenases. In the presence of the enzyme and its substrate (glucose-6-phosphate), Nitrotetrazolium Blue Chloride is reduced to a formazan dye, forming an insoluble blue precipitate. This color change is directly proportional to the activity of G6PD present in the sample, allowing for quantitative analysis. Researchers utilize this property for precise glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase assays, contributing to both clinical diagnostics and fundamental metabolic research.

The sensitivity and reliability of Nitrotetrazolium Blue Chloride in these assays are critical. It allows for the detection of even low levels of enzyme activity, which is essential for identifying carriers or individuals with partial G6PD deficiency. The formation of a stable, visible precipitate simplifies the assay, making it adaptable to various laboratory settings. This chromogenic reaction is a cornerstone in many biochemical test kits designed for enzyme analysis.
