Development Stage: Research-Grade Metabolic Assay Development
Short Description
Quantifies G6PDH activity via NADPH generation.
Brand
OXPHOSight
Development Stage
Research-Grade Metabolic Assay Development
Description
The OXPHOSight™ Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Kit is a homogeneous screening tool for identifying G6PD deficiency liabilities, crucial for the safety of antimalarial and oxidant drugs. This assay supports pharmacogenetic research by characterizing enzyme activity in patient samples. It is essential for pre-clinical safety assessments to prevent drug-induced hemolysis in susceptible populations.

Background
Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) is the rate-limiting enzyme of the pentose phosphate pathway. Deficiency is a common genetic disorder predisposing red blood cells to hemolysis under oxidative stress.
