Description: The GSH-Glo Assay is a luminescent-based assay for the<br />

detection and quantification of glutathione (GSH) in cells or biological samples.<br />

A change in GSH levels is important for assessing toxicological responses and<br />

is an indicator of oxidative stress, potentially leading to apoptosis or cell death.<br />

The assay is based on the conversion of a luciferin derivative into luciferin in<br />

the presence of GSH. The reaction is catalyzed by a glutathione S-transferase<br />

(GST) enzyme supplied in the kit. The luciferin formed is detected in a coupled<br />

reaction using Ultra-Glo Recombinant Luciferase that generates a glow type<br />

luminescence that is proportional to the amount of glutathione present in cells.<br />

The assay provides a simple, fast and sensitive alternative to colorimetric and<br />

fluorescent methods and can be adapted easily to high-throughput applications.<br />

Features:<br />

• Fast: Results in as little as 30 minutes.<br />

• Simplified Method: The simple two-reagent-addition assay minimizes<br />

the number of assay steps compared to conventional GSH assays and is<br />

adapted easily to higher throughput applications. No deproteination step<br />

required!<br />

• Greater Sensitivity: The luminescent method avoids inherent background<br />

fluorescence associated with other methods thereby providing excellent<br />

signal-to-background ratios.<br />

• Stable Signal: Half-life greater than 5 hours.<br />

Storage Conditions: Store at –20°C protected from light.<br />
