Principle of the Assay: GLRX ELISA kit applies the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique utilizing a monoclonal anti-GLRX antibody and an GLRX-HRP conjugate. The assay sample and buffer are incubated together with GLRX-HRP conjugate in pre-coated plate for one hour. After the incubation period, the wells are decanted and washed five times. The wells are then incubated with a substrate for HRP enzyme. The product of the enzyme-substrate reaction forms a blue colored complex. Finally, a stop solution is added to stop the reaction, which will then turn the solution yellow. The intensity of color is measured spectrophotometrically at 450nm in a microplate reader. The intensity of the color is inversely proportional to the GLRX concentration since GLRX from samples and GLRX-HRP conjugate compete for the anti-GLRX antibody binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are occupied by GLRX from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind GLRX-HRP conjugate. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The GLRX concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of the glutaredoxin family. The encoded protein is a cytoplasmic enzyme catalyzing the reversible reduction of glutathione-protein mixed disulfides. This enzyme highly contributes to the antioxidant defense system. It is crucial for several signalling pathways by controlling the S-glutathionylation status of signalling mediators. It is involved in beta-amyloid toxicity and Alzheimer's disease. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]

Product Notes
The Mouse GLRX glrx (Catalog #AAA7222215) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA7222215 ELISA Kit recognizes Mouse GLRX. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Glutaredoxin-1 (GLRX), ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
