TypeGeneral ELISA Kits
DescriptionGeneral GSH/Glutathione ELISA Kit is a ready-to-use microwell, strip plate ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) Kit designed for the quantitative measurement of GSH in biological samples. Our rigorously validated, ready-to-go General GSH/Glutathione ELISA Kit use a simple protocol that easily integrates into your current processes, allowing you to rapidly and accurately detect GSH in your samples. Appropriate sample types may include Cell Culture Supernates, Serum, Platelet-poor EDTA Plasma, Platelet-poor Heparin Plasma, Urine.
Precision
Intra-Assay Precision (Precision within an assay): Three samples of known concentration were tested several times on one plate to assess intra-assay precision.
Inter-Assay Precision (Precision between assays): Three samples of known concentration were tested in several separate assays to assess inter-assay precision. Assays were performed by at least two technicians using two lots of components.

FunctionGlutathione (GSH) is a tripeptide with a gamma peptide linkage between the amine group of cysteine (which is attached by normal peptide linkage to a glycine) and the carboxyl group of the glutamate side-chain. It is an antioxidant, preventing damage to important cellular components caused by reactive oxygen species such as free radicals and peroxides.
Thiol groups are reducing agents, existing at a concentration of approximately 5 mM in animal cells. Glutathione reduces disulfide bonds formed within cytoplasmic proteins to cysteines by serving as an electron donor. In the process, glutathione is converted to its oxidized form, glutathione disulfide (GSSG), also called L-(–)-glutathione.
