General description

The Glutathione S-Transferase (GST) Assay Kit is designed to measure total GSTactivity. It can be used to measure GST activity in cell and bacterial lysates, tissue homogenates, and in plasma
and erythrocyte lysates

Application

The Glutathione S-Transferase Assay kit utilizes 1-Chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB), which is suitable for the broadest range of GST isozymes. Upon conjugation of the thiol group of glutathione to the CDNB substrate, there is an increase in the absorbance at 340 nm.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are a group of enzymes important in the detoxification of many xenobiotics in mammals. The enzymes protect cells against toxicants by conjugating the thiol group of the glutathione to electrophilic xenobiotics, and thereby defend cells against the mutagenic, carcinogenic, and toxic effects of the compounds. GST activity is present in plants, insects, yeast, bacteria, and most mammalian tissues especially in the liver, which plays a key role in detoxification.

Questions

1–5 of 5 Questions  

  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer

    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer

    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  3. Is there a protocol available for preparing tissue for assay with the CS0410 Glutathione-S-Transferase (GST) Assay Kit?

    1 answer

    1. A specific tissue preparation protocol is not included with this kit. Product C3228, CelLytic MT reagent for mammalian tissue, is suitable. Please see the link below to review the product datasheet and protocol:
      https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/product/documents/317/238/c3228bul.pdf

      Flash freezing the sample in liquid nitrogen and cold homogenization methods are also suitable for use with this kit. There are a number of methods available in published literature. Please see the link below for articles that may be helpful:

  4. Is this suitable for detecting all of GST activity or is there for specific GST family for example GSTA or GSTM activity only?

    1 answer

    1. This product has not been evaluated for specificity to each GST isozyme. However, there is no evidence to suggest that this kit does not react to all GST isozymes.
