Glutathione Reductase (GR) (rat) ELISA Kit

Glutathione reductase (GR) is a member of pyridine nucleotide-disulfide oxidoreductases, which includes the closely related enzymes thioredoxin reductase, lipoamide dehydrogenase, trypanothione reductase and mercuric ion reductase. It plays a role in maintaining glutathione (GSH) in its reduced form by catalyzing the reduction of glutathione disulfide (GSSG). In most eukaryotic cells, GR maintains the ratio of [GSH]/[GSSG] elevated, and participates in several vital functions such as the detoxification of reactive oxygen species as well as protein and DNA biosynthesis. BioVision’s Glutathione Reductase ELISA kit is a sandwich ELISA assay for the quantitative measurement of GR in rat serum, plasma and cell culture supernatants. The density of color is proportional to the amount of GR captured from the samples.
