Epididymis secretory sperm binding protein; Glutathione peroxidase 4; GPx-4; GSHPx-4; MCSP; PHGPx; phospholipid hydroperoxidase; phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase; phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase, mitochondrial; selenoprotein GPX4; SMDS; snGPx; snPHGPx; sperm nucleus glutathione peroxidase.

Essential antioxidant peroxidase that directly reduces phospholipid hydroperoxide even if they are incorporated in membranes and lipoproteins (By similarity) . Can also reduce fatty acid hydroperoxide, cholesterol hydroperoxide and thymine hydroperoxide (By similarity) . Plays a key role in protecting cells from oxidative damage by preventing membrane lipid peroxidation (By similarity) . Required to prevent cells from ferroptosis, a non-apoptotic cell death resulting from an iron-dependent accumulation of lipid reactive oxygen species (PubMed:24439385) . The presence of selenocysteine (Sec) versus Cys at the active site is essential for life: it provides resistance to overoxidation and prevents cells against ferroptosis (By similarity) . The presence of Sec at the active site is also essential for the survival of a specific type of parvalbumin-positive interneurons, thereby preventing against fatal epileptic seizures (By similarity) . May be required to protect cells from the toxicity of ingested lipid hydroperoxides (By similarity) . Required for normal sperm development and male fertility (By similarity) . Essential for maturation and survival of photoreceptor cells (By similarity) . Plays a role in a primary T-cell response to viral and parasitic infection by protecting T-cells from ferroptosis and by supporting T-cell expansion (By similarity) .

The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to the index. Standards or samples are then added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with a biotin-conjugated antibody preparation specific to the index. Next, Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. After TMB substrate solution is added, only those wells that contain the index, biotin-conjugated antibody and enzyme-conjugated Avidin will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of sulphuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450nm +- 10nm. The concentration of the index in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve.
