Glutathione Reductase Antibody / GSR, 100 ug

Glutathione reductase (GR), also known as glutathione-disulfide reductase (GSR), is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the GSR gene. This gene encodes a member of the class-I pyridine nucleotide-disulfide oxidoreductase family. This enzyme is a homodimeric flavoprotein. It is a central enzyme of cellular antioxidant defense, and reduces oxidized glutathione disulfide (GSSG) to the sulfhydryl form GSH, which is an important cellular antioxidant. Rare mutations in this gene result in hereditary glutathione reductase deficiency. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found.
