Hepa 1-6 In Vitro GSH Assay (Oxidative Stress)

This assay is to provide Hepa 1-6-based In Vitro GSH 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.

Hepa 1-6

Mouse

The Hepa 1-6 tumorigenic epithelial cell line is derived from liver cells of the BW7756 mouse (Mus musculus) with hepatoma. Hepa 1-6 has been negatively tested for mousepox and is widely used in mammalian liver tissue functions research.

In Vitro GSH Assay (Oxidative Stress)

Hepa 1-6-cell based In Vitro GSH Assay (Oxidative Stress)

Depletion of GSH levels is one of the key indicators of oxidative stress. GSH is normally present as a disulfide dimer oxidized GSH, which can be converted to GSH by the enzyme glutathione reductase.

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.
