Assay Background
Glutathione S-Transferase (GST) has multiple isoforms. This assay is specific for Glutathione S-Transferase Alpha (GSTA) and is not known to cross react with the mu, pi, or theta variants. GSTA is a common biomarker for hepatocellular damage. It also conjugates GSH to 4-hydroxynonenal, a product of lipid peroxidation and is an important player in cellular antioxidant defense mechanisms.
STORAGE
1. Store the components of this kit at the temperatures specified on the labels.
2. Unopened reagents are stable until the indicated kit expiration date.
SAMPLE STORAGE
Samples should be stored at –80°C and thawed just prior to use. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles for best results. This assay was developed and validated with human serum samples, however it does cross-react with rat.
SAMPLE PREPARATION
It is recommended to do multiple sample dilutions to ensure that the concentration falls within the accepted range for the assay. Samples should be assayed neat or diluted 1:2 in Assay Buffer.
