Assay Overview The Glutathione Reductase Activity kit is designed to quantitatively measure glutathione reductase (GR) activity in a variety of samples. 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 that will covalently bind to the free thiol group on GSH generated in the reduction of oxidized glutathione (GSSG) to yield a highly fluorescent product. After mixing the sample or standard with StressXpress® Detection Reagent 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 StressXpress® Detection Reagent 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 measurement 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.

Biological Description

Alternative Names γ-L-Glutamyl-L-cysteinylglycine Activity Kit (2S)-2-Amino-5-[[(2R)-1-(carboxymethylamino)-1-oxo- 3-sulfanylpropan-2-yl]amino]-5-oxopentanoic acid Activity Kit
Research Areas Cancer, Oxidative Stress
Scientific Background 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 (1). The regeneration of GSH is catalyzed by GR (2). 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 (3). 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.
