Peroxidases are a family of enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of a wide variety of substrates via the transfer of electrons to a peroxide electron acceptor. Peroxidases utilize hydrogen peroxide or organic peroxides as electron acceptor. A primary peroxidase role is antioxidant defense in which peroxidase removes reactive oxygen species, which are a normal byproduct of aerobic metabolism. from the cellular environment. Peroxidases also participate in other metabolic pathways such as drug metabolism, lipid metabolism and hormone biosynthesis (thyroid peroxidase). AkrivisBio’s Peroxidase Activity Assay is a simple sensitive way of quantifying peroxidase activity in a wide range of biological sample types with a sensitivity of below 10 microUnit per well.
