    Produktmerkmale
    The Glutathione Reductase (GR) Fluorescent Activity Kit determines GR activity by the amount of GSH generated from the reduction of GSSG with a non-fluorescent molecule, ThioStar®, that covalently binds the free thiol group on GSH to yield a highly fluorescent product. The most widely used procedure to measure GR is to monitor the oxidation of NADPH as a decrease in absorbance at 340nm. However many biological molecules absorb light at 340 nm, plus the detection system gives very low OD readings. The Arbor Assays' Glutathione Reductase Fluorescent Activity kit overcomes these problems of measuring GR activity by the direct detection of the GSH formed from oxidized glutathione. Glutathione reductase (GR) plays an indirect but essential role in the prevention of oxidative damage within the cell by helping to maintain appropriate levels of intracellular glutathione (GSH). GSH, in conjuction with the enzyme glutathione peroxidase (GP), is the acting reductant responsible for minimizing harmful hydrogen peroxide cellular levels. The regeneration of GSH is catalyzed by GR. GR is an ubiquitous 100-120 kDa dimeric flavoprotein that catalyzes the reduction of oxidized glutathione (GSSG) to reduced glutathione, using ß-nicotinamide dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) as the hydrogen donor. Molecules such as NADPH act as hydride donors in a variety of enzymatic processes. NADPH has been suggested to also act as an indirectly operating antioxidant, given its role in the re-reduction of GSSG to GSH and thus maintaining the antioxidative power of glutathione.

  • Applikationshinweise
    This assay has been validated for human serum, EDTA and heparin plasma, and isolated erythro- cytes.
    Most cell lysates should also be compatible.
    Samples containing visible particulate should be centrifuged prior to using.
    GR activity varies across tissues and species, however we expect this kit to measure GR activity from sources other than human.
    The end user should evaluate re- coveries of GR activity in samples from other species being tested.

    1 h
    Protokoll
    A GR standard is provided to generate a standard curve for the assay and all samples should be read off the standard curve.
    The kit utilizes a proprietary non-fluorescent molecule, ThioStar®, that will covalently bind to the free thiol group on GSH gen- erated in the reduction of oxidized glutathione (GSSG) to yield a highly fluorescent product.
    After mixing the sample or standard with ThioStar® and incubating at room temperature, the fluorescent product is read at 510 nm in a fluorescent plate reader with excitation at 390 nm.
    Background thiol content is read first after 5 minutes, followed by addition of GSSG and NADPH which uses the standard or sample GR to convert the oxidized glutathione, GSSG, into free GSH, which then reacts with the ThioStar® to yield the signal related to GR activity The activity of GR in the sample is calculated from the generated signal.
    We have provided a 96 well plate for measure- ment but this assay is adaptable for higher density plate formats.
    The end user should ensure that their HTS black plate is suitable for use with these reagents prior to running samples.
    Aufbereitung der Reagenzien

    Allow the kit reagents to come to room temperature for 30 minutes.
    We recommend that all stan- dards and samples be run in duplicate to allow the end user to accurately determine GR activity.
    Ensure that all samples have reached room temperature and have been diluted as appropriate prior to running them in the kit.
    Assay Buffer Preparation Prepare the Assay Buffer by diluting one part of the 2x Assay Buffer Concentrate 1:2 with one part deionized water.
    It is stable for up to 3 months when stored at 4 °C.
    Standard Preparation GR Standards are prepared by labeling six test tubes as #1 through #6.
    Briefly spin vial of stan- dard in a microcentrifuge to ensure contents are at bottom of vial.
    Pipet 390 μL of Assay Buffer into tube #1 and 200 μL into tubes #2 to #6.
    Carefully add 10 μL of the Glutathione Reductase Standard to tube #1 and vortex completely.
    Take 200 μL of the GR solution in tube #1 and add it to tube #2 and vortex completely.
    Repeat these serial dilutions for tubes #3 through #6.
    The concentration of GR in tubes 1 through 6 will be 5, 2.5, 1.25, 0.625, 0.3125, and 0.156 mU/mL.
    Use all Standards within 2 hour of preparation.

    The Supplier has available for free download on our website an Excel spreadsheet useful in sub- tracting out sample thiol background at: http://www.arborassays.com/resources/lit.asp After subtracting the background thiol FLU readings for each well from step 6, average the dupli- cate FLU readings for each standard and sample.
    Create a standard curve by reducing the data using the 4PLC fitting routine on the plate reader, after subtracting the mean FLUs for the zero standard.
    The activities obtained should be multiplied by the dilution factor to obtain neat sample values.
