Mouse TrxR1(Thioredoxin Reductase 1) ELISA Kit

Reduces disulfideprotein thioredoxin (Trx) to its dithiol-containing form. Homodimeric flavoprotein involved in the regulation of cellular redox reactions, growth and differentiation. Contains a selenocysteine residue at the C-terminal active site that is essential for catalysis. Also has reductase activity on hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) Assay Type: Sandwich. Sensitivity: 0.056 ng/mL. Standard: 10 ng/mL. Detection range: 0.16-10 ng/mL. Sample type: serum, plasma, tissue homogenates and other biological fluids. Assay length: 3.5h. Research Field: Signal transduction,Enzyme & Kinase,Metabolic pathway,. Test principle: The test principle applied in this kit is Sandwich enzyme immunoassay. The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to Mouse TrxR1. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Mouse TrxR1. Next, Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. After TMB substrate solution is added, only those wells that contain Mouse TrxR1, biotin-conjugated antibody and enzyme-conjugated Avidin will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of sulphuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450nm ± 10nm. The concentration of Mouse TrxR1 in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.
