Introduction | Glutathione peroxidase (GPX1) is an enzyme that reduces lipid hydroperoxides back to carboxylic acids and hydrogen peroxide to water using glutathione as a hydrogen donor. This produces dimeric glutathione (connected via a disulphide bond) that can be regenerated to two separate glutathione molecules by NADPH. In humans, GPX1 contains a selenocysteine amino acid residue crucial to the reduction process, which is coded for using a UGA stop codon. Deficiencies in glutathione peroxidases are associated with vitiligo, and double knockout mice had increased rates of hearing loss and cataract development. |
Target | Glutathione Peroxidase 1 (GPX1) |
Reactivity | Chicken |
Tested Applications | ELISA |
Recommended dilutions | Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. |
Storage | Shipped at 4 °C. Upon receipt, store the kit according to the storage instruction in the kit's manual. |
Validity | The validity for this kit is at least 6 months. Up to 12 months validity can be provided on request. |
Stability | The stability of the kit is determined by the rate of activity loss. The loss rate is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage conditions. To minimize performance fluctuations, operation procedures and lab conditions should be strictly controlled. It is also strongly suggested that the whole assay is performed by the same user throughout. |

Assay Precision | Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay): 3 samples with low, medium and high levels of GPX1 were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively. Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays): 3 samples with low, medium and high levels of GPX1 were tested on 3 different plates, 8 replicates in each plate. CV (%) = (Standard Deviation / mean) × 100 Intra-Assay: CV<10% Inter-Assay: CV<10% |
Availability | Shipped within 5-12 working days. |
Note | THIS PRODUCT IS FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY. NOT FOR USE IN DIAGNOSTIC OR THERAPEUTIC PROCEDURES. The range and sensitivity is subject to change. Please contact us for the latest product information. For accurate results, sample concentrations must be diluted to mid-range of the kit. If you require a specific range, please contact us in advance or write your request in your order comments. Please note that our kits are optimised for detection of native samples, rather than recombinant proteins. We are unable to guarantee detection of recombinant proteins, as they may have different sequences or tertiary structures to the native protein. |
