An enzymatic assay for my&nositol (MI) is described. The method is based on the oxidation of MI by NAD+dependent my&nositol dehydrogenase, coupled to reoxidation of NADH with oxalacetate and malate dehydrogenase. The resultant malate is measured fluorimetrically. Several variations of the assay are

โฆ Synopsis
The determination of my@inositol t&phosphate by an enzymatic fluorometric assay is presented. The method involves the acid extraction of water-soluble inositol polyphosphates followed by separation by anion-exchange chromatography. Samples are subsequently neutralized by passage over a Dowex c1-resin and elution with lithium chloride. Samples are then desalted with ethanol. Following dephosphorylation with alkaline phosphatase, free my&nosi-to1 is measured enxymatically via the NAD-dependent oxidation to scy1/&nosose with myoinositol dehydrogenase. The efficiency of recovery, assay specificity, and an application to the measurement of inositol polyphosphates in hormone-stimulated tissue are discussed. 8 1987 Academic F'ms, Inc.
