Creatine is an amino acid that has an important role in cellular energy metabolism.
It is present either as a free form or creatine phosphate in mammalian tissues such as liver, kidneys, muscle, brain, and blood.
Creatine has been used to treat or prevent several neuromuscular conditions.
Immunoassay can be a great method of detecting creatine.
However, creatine is difficult to modify due to its intrinsic characteristics.
Since Creatine is a very small molecule it is generally very difficult to generate an antibody that binds strongly to the protein for detection.
CellMosaic's BSA-creatine conjugate is designed with a flexible linker of optimal length （8-atom length, L8） and a labeling chemistry that does not interfere with creatine binding.
Each lot of the conjugate consists of an optimally loaded BSA with （8-15） creatine molecules per BSA molecule as determined by mass spectrometry.The product is sold as 1 vial of 0.5 mg （Cat# CM52132-0.5MG）.
