How does your platform differentiate between GPX isoforms?

Our assay design allows for customization of the substrate to selectively detect specific isoforms, such as GPX4. This tailored approach is particularly valuable in ferroptosis studies, where isoform-specific activity can provide deeper biological insights and improve experimental accuracy.

Is it possible to run this assay on frozen biological specimens?

Yes, provided the samples were rapidly frozen in liquid nitrogen and kept at -80°C without thawing. To maintain enzymatic stability and reliable results, we strongly advise limiting freeze-thaw cycles to an absolute minimum, preferably using fresh aliquots for each analysis.

Glutathione Peroxidase (GSH-Px) Activity Assay Service

Background Service What We Can Offer Workflow Highlights FAQs Contact

We present a Glutathione Peroxidase (GSH-Px) Activity Assay that delivers a direct measure of enzyme function in biological samples, addressing key difficulties in assessing antioxidant status and oxidative balance following genetic or pharmacological interventions. By combining colorimetric detection with high-throughput redox screening, our method ensures reproducible and precise activity data. This enables robust evaluation of drug responses, characterization of mutant variants, and further progress in oxidative stress research.

Introduction

Glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) is a key selenoprotein enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of hydrogen peroxide and lipid hydroperoxides using reduced glutathione, thereby protecting cellular membranes from oxidative injury. The activity level of GSH-Px serves as a critical indicator of cellular redox homeostasis, directly influencing signaling pathways, immune cell function, and susceptibility to oxidative stress-related pathologies.
