SYBR Green qPCR primers for detecting mouse Gpx1 (glutathione peroxidase 1) gene expression by real-time PCR. Each set comes with primer sequences and reaction conditions.
Mouse Gpx1 qPCR Primer Set – glutathione peroxidase 1
Also known as: CGPx, GPx-1, GSHPx-1, Gpx
About this gene: The Gpx1 protein belongs to the glutathione peroxidase family, members of which catalyze the reduction of organic hydroperoxides and hydrogen peroxide by glutathione, and thereby protect cells against oxidative damage. Knockout mice lacking Gpx1 are highly sensitive to oxidants, and develop mature cataracts due to damage to the eye lens nucleus. Other studies indicate that H2O2 is also essential for growth-factor mediated signal transduction, mitochondrial function, and maintenance of thiol redox-balance; therefore, by limiting H2O2 accumulation, glutathione peroxidases are also involved in modulating these processes.
Gene details: NCBI Gene ID: 14775; UniProt: P11352; Chromosome location: 9 F2|9 59.24 cM
What you get: Primers are provided as a 40 µl solution containing both primers at a final concentration of 50 µM in 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 0.1 mM EDTA. Dilute with H2O as needed prior to use. This amount is sufficient for 1,000 PCR reactions of 20 µl, assuming a final primer concentration of 0.1 µM.
