Oxidative stress in cells is counteracted by the antioxidant defense system, a complex network of enzymes and small molecules all working together to maintain the redox balance. In red blood cells, an important part of this system is NADPH which is used to keep the reduced glutathione levels up. Glucose dehydrogenase, while it can also utilize NAD, is the primary driver of NADPH production. GDH is also important for cell growth and proliferation and participates in the pentose phosphate pathway. AkrivisBio’s Glucose Dehydrogenase Assay is a simple, sensitive way to measure enzyme activity in a variety of biological samples with a sensitivity below 10 µUnits per sample.
