Oxidized homocysteine is reduced by tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP) to form free HCY, which reacts with the substrate in a cyclic amplification, simultaneously producing adenosine. Adenosine is immediately hydrolyzed into ammonia and hypoxanthine, and ammonia converts NADH to NAD+ under the action of glutamate dehydrogenase. By measuring the decrease in NADH at 340nm, the HCY content can be calculated.
