Cat no: G8127-19Q

Glutathione Reductase, Recombinant, Yeast (Glutathione Reductase, Mitochondrial, GR, GRase, GSR, GLUR, GRD1)

Glutathione reductase (GR) is a member of pyridine nucleotide-disulfide oxidoreductases, which includes the closely related enzymes thioredoxin reductase, lipoamide dehydrogenase, trypanothione reductase and mercuric ion reductase. GR is a cytoplasmic flavoenzyme widely distributed in aerobic organisms. The dimeric protein is composed of two identical subunits, each containing 1 FAD and 1 redox-active disulfide/dithiol as components of the catalytic apparatus. It plays a role in maintaining glutathione (GSH) in its reduced form by catalyzing the reduction of glutathione disulfide (GSSG) (1): GSSG + NADPH + H+ 2GSH + NADP+ In most eukaryotic cells, GR maintains the ratio of [GSH]/[GSSG] elevated, and participates in several vital functions such as the detoxification of reactive oxygen species as well as protein and DNA biosynthesis (2).\n\nSource:\nRecombunant corresponding to aa1-483, from yeast Glutathione Reductase, expressed in E.coli.\n\nMolecular Weight:\n~53kD\n\nSpecific Activity:\n85U/mg (One unit will reduce 1umole of oxidized glutathione per min at pH 7.5 at 25 degrees C)\n\nStorage and Stability:\nAliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing and store at -70 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
