Glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx) activity is an indicator of selenium status in selenium-deficient individuals. Utilizing polyclonal monospecific antibodies to purified erythrocyte GSHPx, we were able to determine the relationship between enzymatic activity and protein content. In erythrocytes from a selenium-deficient individual who was treated with selenium, and in HL-60 cells grown in the absence of selenium and then returned to selenium-containing medium, there was a direct relationship between enzymatic activity and protein content. Thus, selenium deficiency results not only in a decrease of GSHPx activity, but also in a decrease of GSHPx protein.
谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSHPx)活性是缺硒个体硒状态的一个指标。利用针对纯化红细胞GSHPx的多克隆单特异性抗体,我们能够确定酶活性与蛋白质含量之间的关系。在接受硒治疗的缺硒个体的红细胞中,以及在无硒条件下培养然后再回到含硒培养基中生长的HL-60细胞中,酶活性与蛋白质含量之间存在直接关系。因此,硒缺乏不仅导致GSHPx活性降低,还导致GSHPx蛋白减少。
