Gene Information

Application

Using post nuclear extracts of rat liver, the kit shows linearity up to 0.25 units per mL. In this preparation, ~20% of the activity is due to non-specific reductase activity (refractory to the TrxR inhibitor).

Features and Benefits

  • An easy and simple method
  • The kit contains all the reagents required for a colorimetric assay of mammalian thioredoxin reductase
  • The kit includes an inhibitor solution for specific inhibition of mammalian thioredoxin reductase
  • The kit has been tested with heart muscle, as well as lysates from cell lines such as HeLa, A549, Jurkat, U937, A431, COS, CHO, and NIH 3T3 cells

General description

The Thioredoxin Reductase Assay Kit uses a colorimetric assay for the determination of thioredoxin reductase activity in mammalian cells and tissues. It is based on the reduction of 5,5′-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic) acid (DTNB) with NADPH to 5-thio-2-nitrobenzoic acid (TNB) that produces a strong yellow color that is measured at 412 nm.

DTNB + NADPH + H+ ↔ 2 TNB + NADP+

Cancer cells (relative to normal cells) show increased steady-state levels of hydroperoxides that are compensated by increased glucose and hydroperoxide metabolism. The current study determined whether inhibitors of glucose and hydroperoxide metabolism could induce chemoradiosensitization by enhancing oxidative stress in

The antiproliferative properties of a series of structurally-related gold(I) and silver(I) linear complexes inspired to the clinically established gold-based drug auranofin were investigated in A2780 ovarian cancer cells and in their auranofin (A2780/AF-R) and cisplatin (A2780/CDDP-R) resistant counterparts. In A2780

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by dysregulated keratinocyte differentiation, but oxidative stress also plays an important role in the pathogenesis of this disease. Here, we examined the effect of cannabidiol (CBD), a phytocannabinoid with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory
