Human Glucose-6-phosphate 1-dehydrogenase (G6PD) ELISA Kit

Manufactured by Assay Genie, this Sandwich ELISA kit is designed for the quantitative detection of human Glucose-6-phosphate 1-dehydrogenase (G6PD) by colorimetric ELISA readout. The kit is reactive with human samples and has been validated for serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernatants and other biological fluids, with specificity toward natural and recombinant human G6PD.

G6PD catalyzes the rate-limiting step of the oxidative pentose-phosphate pathway, supplying reducing power in the form of NADPH and pentose phosphates for fatty acid and nucleic acid synthesis, and helping to protect cells from oxidative damage. Deficiencies in this enzyme have been linked to hemolytic anemia and other red blood cell disorders, supporting its value as a marker in research into related disease development and progression.

Quoted performance figures include a detection range of 0.78-50 mIU/mL, a sensitivity of 0.31 mIU/mL, an intra-assay coefficient of variation of 5.8% and an inter-assay coefficient of variation of 9.5%. The kit is supplied for research use only.
