    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    GPX4 Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total GPX4 protein.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human, Mouse, Monkey

    Source / Purification

    Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the carboxy terminus of human GPX4 protein. Antibodies are purified by peptide affinity chromatography.

    Background

    The selenoprotein glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) is a master regulator of ferroptosis, a form of programmed cell death induced by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation (1,2). GPX4 converts lipid hydroperoxides to non-toxic lipid alcohols, therefore preventing ferroptosis (2). Research studies show that selenium enhances GPX4 expression and inhibits ferroptotic death to protect neurons (3). In addition, some therapy-resistant cancer cells depend on GPX4 to survive. Loss of GPX4 leads to ferroptosis and thus prevents tumor relapse in mice (4). Furthermore, redox homeostasis mediated by GPX4 is essential for activation of the cytosolic DNA-sensing cGAS-STING pathway and initiation of the subsequent innate immune response (5).
