Thioredoxin Peroxidase (TPX) Assay Kit

 

 

소개 (Description)

Thioredoxin Peroxidase (TPX) is an enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of hydrogen peroxide (H 2O 2) and some hydroperoxides. It is one of the key enzymes in the glutathione redox cycle.

 

TPX is widely found in yeast, animals, plants and microorganisms and its functions include cell detoxification, anti-oxidation, regulation of signal transduction and immune response.

 

BQC Thioredoxin Peroxidase Assay Kit is a very sensitive assay to determine TPX activity that can be used with multiple biological samples.

 

 

분석 원리 (Assay Principles)

BQC Thioredoxin Peroxidase Assay Kit is based on the oxidation of dithiothreitol (DTT) in presence of H2O2 by TPX.

 

Catalase (CAT), is another crucial antioxidant enzyme for organisms that mitigates oxidative stress by destroying H2O2.

 

H2O2 has a maximum absorption wavelength of 240 nm. Therefore, TPX activity can be calculated by measuring the decreasing rate of absorbance at 240 nm and subtracting the decreasing rate of absorbance at 240 nm due to CAT activity.

 

BQC Thioredoxin Peroxidase Assay Kit measures TPX and CAT activities of samples simultaneously.
