Product details:
Human Glutathione Peroxidase 1 SimpleStep ELISA
kit is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of Glutathione Peroxidase 1 protein in Cell Lysate. Quantitate Human Glutathione Peroxidase 1 with 10 pg/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA
technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA
plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA
protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA
technology provides several benefits:
-Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
-High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
-Fully validated in biological samples
-96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA
microplate (
ab315065
) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA

Glutathione Peroxidase 1 (GPx1) also known as GSH peroxidase is a selenium-containing enzyme with a mass of approximately 22 kDa. It plays an important role in reducing hydrogen peroxide to water using glutathione as a substrate therefore protecting cells from oxidative damage. GPx1 is widely expressed in many tissues but is found in high concentrations in the liver and erythrocytes. Researchers use antibodies specific to GPx1 often obtained from specialized suppliers to study and quantify this enzyme in various biological samples.
Biological function summary
The enzyme guards cellular components by neutralizing free radicals. GPx1 is not part of a large complex but functions as a homotetramer. Its activity is essential for preserving the redox balance within the cell preventing cellular damage from reactive oxygen species (ROS). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) often measure GPx1 activity to assess oxidative stress levels in research and clinical settings.
Pathways
GPx1 is important in the glutathione metabolism and cellular antioxidant defense pathways. Within these pathways GPx1 works closely with proteins like glutathione reductase to maintain reduced glutathione levels. This interplay with other antioxidant proteins ensures cellular protection against oxidative damage. Studies focus on GPx1's role in these pathways as it underpins many critical cellular processes maintaining cell health.
Decreased GPx1 activity links to neurodegenerative diseases and cardiovascular disorders. In neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's the oxidative stress overwhelms the antioxidant defenses including GPx1. Similarly in cardiovascular disorders a diminished GPx1 activity correlates with increased oxidative stress contributing to disease progression. Researchers also investigate connections between GPx1 and other oxidative stress-related proteins like superoxide dismutase to fully understand GPx1's role in disease mechanisms.
