This video demonstrates the in vitro measurement of enzyme activity for α-galactosidase A and acid α-glucosidase in samples using synthetic 4-Methylumbelliferyl substrates.
Protocol
1. Cell Harvest and α-galactosidase A or Acid α-glucosidase Activity Measurement Cell harvest On the day of the harvest, remove the cells from the incubator and aspirate the medium. Carefully wash the cells 2 times with PBS with Ca2+ and Mg2+. NOTE: This step is critical because DGJ and DNJ are potent inhibitors of α-galactosidase and α-glucosidase, respectively, and any leftover would inval…
