Biological Description

Specificity Glutathione Peroxidase 1 Antibody [M21J11] detects endogenous levels of total Glutathione Peroxidase 1 protein.
Background Glutathione Peroxidase 1 (GPx1) is the main intracellular selenoprotein antioxidant enzyme that protects cells from oxidative damage by reducing hydrogen peroxide and lipid hydroperoxides to water and alcohols, using reduced Glutathione (GSH) as an electron donor; the resulting oxidized Glutathione disulfide (GSSG) is recycled by Glutathione reductase. GPx1 is a homotetramer of four identical 22–23 kDa subunits, each encoded by the GPX1 gene (chromosome 3p21.31) and incorporating selenocysteine (Sec) at the active site through UGA codon recoding governed by the SECIS element in the mRNA 3′ UTR. The catalytic tetrad (Sec-Gln-Trp-Asn) resides within a pocket formed by conserved arginine and lysine residues from adjacent subunits, facilitating GSH binding and enabling ping-pong bisubstrate kinetics for efficient peroxide detoxification. Both cytosolic and mitochondrial GPx1 maintain redox homeostasis by working with superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase to neutralize reactive oxygen species (ROS), thus preventing lipid peroxidation, protein carbonylation, DNA damage, and aberrant H2O2-mediated signaling that can affect apoptosis, growth factor responses, insulin sensitivity, and Nrf2-dependent gene expression. GPx1 deficiency is linked to cardiovascular diseases (atherosclerosis, endothelial dysfunction), neurodegeneration (as shown by neuroprotection in stroke/traumatic brain injury), and cancer (where its role can be either tumor-promoting or risk-modulating, as influenced by the Pro198Leu polymorphism). GPx1 also serves as a key biomarker of selenium status and is transcriptionally regulated by Nrf2, NF-κB, and p53.

Experimental Protocol:
 
Sample preparation
1. Tissue: Lyse the tissue sample by adding an appropriate volume of ice-cold RIPA/NP-40 Lysis Buffer (containing Protease Inhibitor Cocktail),and homogenize the tissue at a low temperature.
2. Adherent cell: Aspirate the culture medium and wash the cells with ice-cold PBS twice. Lyse the cells by adding an appropriate volume of RIPA/NP-40 Lysis Buffer (containing Protease Inhibitor Cocktail) and put the sample on ice for 5 min.
3. Suspension cell: Transfer the culture medium to a pre-cooled centrifuge tube. Centrifuge and aspirate the supernatant. Wash the cells with ice-cold PBS twice. Lyse the cells by adding an appropriate volume of RIPA/NP-40 Lysis Buffer (containing Protease Inhibitor Cocktail) and put the sample on ice for 5 min.
4. Place the lysate into a pre-cooled microcentrifuge tube. Centrifuge at 4°C for 15 min. Collect the supernatant;
5. Remove a small volume of lysate to determine the protein concentration;
6. Combine the lysate with protein loading buffer. Boil 20 µL sample under 95-100°C for 5 min. Centrifuge for 5 min after cool down on ice.
 
Electrophoretic separation
1. According to the concentration of extracted protein, load appropriate amount of protein sample and marker onto SDS-PAGE gels for electrophoresis. Recommended separating gel (lower gel) concentration: 10%. Reference Table for Selecting SDS-PAGE Separation Gel Concentrations
2. Power up 80V for 30 minutes. Then the power supply is adjusted (110 V~150 V), the Marker is observed, and the electrophoresis can be stopped when the indicator band of the predyed protein Marker where the protein is located is properly separated. (Note that the current should not be too large when electrophoresis, too large current (more than 150 mA) will cause the temperature to rise, affecting the result of running glue. If high currents cannot be avoided, an ice bath can be used to cool the bath.)
 
Transfer membrane
1. Take out the converter, soak the clip and consumables in the pre-cooled converter;
2. Activate PVDF membrane with methanol for 1 min and rinse with transfer buffer;
3. Install it in the order of "black edge of clip - sponge - filter paper - filter paper - glue -PVDF membrane - filter paper - filter paper - sponge - white edge of clip";
4. The protein was electrotransferred to PVDF membrane. ( 0.45 µm PVDF membrane is recommended ) Reference Table for Selecting PVDF Membrane Pore Size Specifications
Recommended conditions for wet transfer: 200 mA, 60 min.
( Note that the transfer conditions can be adjusted according to the protein size. For high-molecular-weight proteins, a higher current and longer transfer time are recommended. However, ensure that the transfer tank remains at a low temperature to prevent gel melting.)
 
Block
1. After electrotransfer, wash the film with TBST at room temperature for 5 minutes;
2. Incubate the film in the blocking solution for 1 hour at room temperature;
3. Wash the film with TBST for 3 times, 5 minutes each time.
 
Antibody incubation
1. Use 5% skim milk powder to prepare the primary antibody working liquid (recommended dilution ratio for primary antibody 1:1000), gently shake and incubate with the film at 4°C overnight;
2. Wash the film with TBST 3 times, 5 minutes each time;
3. Add the secondary antibody to the blocking solution and incubate with the film gently at room temperature for 1 hour;
4. After incubation, wash the film with TBST 3 times for 5 minutes each time.
 
Antibody staining
1. Add the prepared ECL luminescent substrate (or select other color developing substrate according to the second antibody) and mix evenly;
2. Incubate with the film for 1 minute, remove excess substrate (keep the film moist), wrap with plastic film, and expose in the imaging system.
