Zebrafish GCLC Antibody / Glutamate-Cysteine Ligase Antibody recognizes Glutamate-Cysteine Ligase Catalytic Subunit (GCLC), the catalytic component of glutamate-cysteine ligase, the rate-limiting enzyme in glutathione biosynthesis. GCLC catalyzes the first and committed step in glutathione production by promoting the formation of gamma-glutamylcysteine from glutamate and cysteine. Because glutathione serves as one of the most important intracellular antioxidants, GCLC plays a central role in cellular redox regulation, detoxification pathways, and protection against oxidative stress.
Glutathione is required for maintenance of cellular homeostasis and participates in numerous biological processes including reactive oxygen species scavenging, xenobiotic metabolism, protein redox regulation, and cellular signaling. As the catalytic subunit of glutamate-cysteine ligase, GCLC directly influences intracellular glutathione availability and therefore impacts the ability of cells to respond to oxidative challenges. Regulation of GCLC expression and activity is closely linked to antioxidant response pathways and adaptive cellular stress mechanisms.
Zebrafish have become an important vertebrate model for studying oxidative stress, toxicology, developmental biology, and regenerative processes. Because antioxidant defense pathways are highly conserved among vertebrates, zebrafish provide a valuable system for investigating how glutathione metabolism contributes to development, tissue homeostasis, and environmental stress responses. Expression of GCLC is associated with tissues that require robust antioxidant protection and efficient detoxification capacity, making it a useful marker for studies of redox biology and cellular stress regulation.
Alterations in glutathione metabolism can influence development, cellular survival, regeneration, and susceptibility to oxidative injury. Consequently, GCLC is frequently investigated in research involving toxicological responses, neurobiology, liver biology, metabolic regulation, environmental exposure studies, and disease models characterized by oxidative stress. Monitoring GCLC expression can provide valuable insight into the molecular mechanisms that regulate antioxidant defense and cellular adaptation to physiological and environmental challenges.
At NSJ Bioreagents, we provide highly validated antibodies for developmental biology, redox biology, toxicology, and zebrafish research applications. Zebrafish GCLC Antibody / Glutamate-Cysteine Ligase Antibody is useful for investigations of glutathione biosynthesis, oxidative stress responses, antioxidant defense pathways, detoxification mechanisms, and cellular redox regulation. Continued study of GCLC is advancing our understanding of how vertebrate organisms maintain cellular homeostasis and respond to oxidative stress.
Researchers studying glutathione metabolism, antioxidant defense mechanisms, and oxidative stress signaling may also be interested in our GCLC Antibody page.
This Zebrafish antibody is part of a broader Zebrafish / Danio rerio antibody panel offered by NSJ Bioreagents.
The optimal working dilution of the Zebrafish GCLC Antibody / Glutamate-Cysteine Ligase Antibody should be determined empirically by the investigator.
An E.coli-derived Zebrafish GCLC recombinant protein (amino acids E13-K618) was used as the immunogen for the Zebrafish GCLC Antibody.
After reconstitution, the Zebrafish GCLC Antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
