Anti-Glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPx-1) Antibody
Our Anti-Glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPx-1) sheep polyclonal primary antibody detects human and rat Glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPx-1), and is whole serum. It is validated for use in ELISA, IHC-Frozen, IHC-Paraffin-embedded, WB.


Immunofluorescence histochemistry with sheep antibody to glutathione peroxidase 1 (S-072-100). Staining obtained within microglia in the septal region of rat brain and is doubled labeled to show the presence of GFP protein in these same cells following a transfection experiment. Concentration of antibody used was 1:500.

Product Details
Glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPx-1)
Glutathione peroxidase 1 has a role in detoxification of hydrogen peroxide and is one of the most important antioxidant enzymes in humans. It exists as a homotetramer which localises to the cytoplasm. It belongs to the glutathione peroxidase family. Glutathione peroxidase 1 is one of few proteins in higher vertebrates to contain selenocysteine, which occurs at the active site of glutathione peroxidase and is coded by UGA, that normally functions as a translation termination codon. This protein has a polyalanine sequence polymorphism in the N-terminal region, which includes three alleles with five, six or seven alanine repeats. The allele with five alanine repeats is significantly associated with breast cancer risk. Two alternatively spliced isoforms have been identified.

Spin vial briefly before opening. Reconstitute in 100 µL sterile-filtered, ultrapure water. Centrifuge to remove any insoluble material. After reconstitution keep aliquots at -20°C for a higher stability, and at 2-8°C with an appropriate antibacterial agent. Avoid repetitive freeze/thaw cycles. Glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability.

Antigen retrieval has been used in testing but may not be necessary. This antiserum has extremely high titer, it stains human and rat brain microglia intensely and to some extent also stains neurons. Other tissues have not yet been tested. On Western blotting under reducing conditions recognizes a 22 kD protein in human brain tissue and Sigma glutathione peroxidase (G-4013) isolated from human erythrocytes.
Unconjugated
This antibody has been shown to be specific for glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPx-1) protein. Human and rat, other species have not yet been tested.
