Oxidative stress assay kit KB03007

glutathionebiologicalfor molecular biology

BQC Thiol Quantification Assay Kit is a selective, easy, and quick assay for measuring free thiols and disulfides groups in biological samples. Protein (cysteine residues) and non-protein (e.g. homocysteine and glutathione) thiol groups (R-SH) are central components of the extracellular antioxidant defense. High concentrations of free thiols are indicative of a favorable redox status, while low levels of free thiols are associated with different oxidative stress related diseases. Reduced levels of free thiols arise from its rapid oxidation to disulfides in the presence of high amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS).
