GL261 In Vitro S-glutathionylation Assay (Oxidative Stress)

This assay is to provide GL261-based In Vitro S-glutathionylation Assay (Oxidative Stress) to accelerate our client's oncology projects. The assay will be customized according to the specific requirements. Please contact our scientists to discuss more details.

GL261

Mouse

Glioma 261 (GL261) is a frequently used murine glioma model. It was induced via intracranial injection of methylcholanthrene followed by serial intracranial and subcutaneous transplantations of tumor fragments into syngeneic C57BL/6 mice. By the mid-1990s, multiple groups had established a permanent cell line from the tumor.

GL261-cell based In Vitro S-glutathionylation Assay (Oxidative Stress)

S-nitrosylation (attachment of NO to thiol side chains of the amino acid cysteine) and S-glutathionylation (attachment of GSH to thiol side chains of the amino acid cysteine) are two post-translational modification processes reported to increase with oxidative stress.

Oxidative Stress Assays

Disturbance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), free radicals and antioxidant mechanisms is defined as the oxidative stress, or more precisely, it is an imbalance between the oxidant and antioxidant state in cells. This imbalance can cause harmful effects to cells and biomolecules, which ultimately causes adverse effects in the whole organism. Oxidative imbalance can target important proteinsand lipids in cells, which can increase the risk of developing a cancer. On the other hand, increased ROS production in cancer cells by certain cancer drugs can also arrest cancer cell cycle and cause senescence and apoptosis through oxidative stress.
