N-Acetyl Beta-D-Glucosaminidase (NAG) is a mesophilic hydrolase that specifically hydrolyzes N-acetyl-glucosides. One of the primary functions of the enzyme is to target and hydrolyze oligosaccharides containing chitin. In this chitinase function, the enzyme contributes to the ability of many organisms to break down chitin-containing molecules and subsequently digest or re-uptake environmental chitin, carbon, or nitrogen. The enzyme's crystal structure varies slightly across organisms, but is characterized by three or four domains with one active site.
As the OD values of the standard curve may vary according to the conditions of the actual assay performance (e.g. operator, pipetting technique, wash technique or temperature effects), the operator should establish a standard curve for each test. Typical standard curve and data are provided below for reference only.

The recovery of Mouse NAG spiked at three different levels in samples throughout the range of the assay was evaluated in various matrices.
Sample Type | Range(%) | Average Recovery(%) |
Serum(n=8) | 84-101 | 96 |
Plasma(n=8) | 93-105 | 103 |
Cell Culture Supernates(n=8) | 96-108 | 105 |
Samples were spiked with high concentrations of Mouse NAG and diluted with Universal Diluent to produce samples with values within the range of the assay.
