Sorbitol dehydrogenase is an enzyme in carbohydrate metabolism converting sorbitol, the sugar alcohol form of glucose, into fructose. Together with aldose reductase, it provides a way for the body to produce fructose from glucose without using ATP. Sorbitol dehydrogenase uses NAD+ as a cofactor; its reaction is sorbitol + NAD+ --> fructose + NADH + H+. A zinc ion is also involved in catalysis. Organs that use it most frequently include the liver and seminal vesicle; it is found in all kinds of organisms from bacteria to humans. A secondary use is the metabolism of dietary sorbitol, though sorbitol is known not to be absorbed as well in the intestine as its related compounds glucose and fructose, and is usually found in quite small amounts in the diet (except when used as an artificial sweetener).
Mouse Sorbitol dehydrogenase (SDH) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate SORD in samples. An antibody specific for SORD has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anySORD present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for SORD is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of SORD bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
