HEMOGLOBIN A1c MEASUREMENT METHOD AND MEASUREMENT KIT

摘要

Provided is an amadoriase characterized in acting on the β-chains of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) to generate hydrogen peroxide. A HbA1c measurement method and measurement reagent kit using same are also provided. A HbA1c measurement method uses an amadoriase characterized in having a specific activity of 0.1 U/mg or more with respect to αF6P and in oxidizing the amino terminus of the β-chains of HbA1c to generate hydrogen peroxide, and a measurement reagent kit comprises said amadoriase. The present invention provides a measurement method and measurement kit that are able to quantify HbA1c rapidly, easily and with good precision.
