Anti-GPX | Glutathione peroxidase (chloroplastic)

GPX belongs to the group of enzymes that protect cells against oxidative damage generated by reactive oxygen species (ROS) . Glutathione peroxidase catalyzes the reduction of H2O2, organic hydroperoxides, and lipid peroxides in the presence of glutathione, the hydrogen donor. Activity of the enzyme can be increased under environmental stress. Immunogen: Peptide target chosen from C-terminal of two chloroplastic isoforms of Arabidopsis thaliana GPX.

Thioredoxin fusion of 58 amino acid region between Ser at position 175 and the C-terminal Ala of Arabidopsis thaliana GPX7 accession At4g31870 has been used for antibody production

This antibody is recognizingArabidopsis thalianaGPX (two chloroplastic isoforms). Antibody has also a weak cross-reactivity to cytosolic forms, therefore work on isolated chloroplasts is recommended.

Store lyophilized/reconstituted at -20°C; once reconstituted make aliquots to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Please remember to spin the tubes briefly prior to opening them to avoid any losses that might occur from material adhering to the cap or sides of the tube.
