Peroxidase, ≥250 U/mg solid
SKU: 02195373-CF
Peroxidase
Application Notes
Horseradish peroxidase is used in biochemistry applications such as western blots, ELISA and Immunohistochemistry. It is used to amplify a weak signal and increase detectability of a target molecule, such as a protein. HRP labeled immunoglobulins are used as probes for the demonstration of tissue antigens and in enzyme immunoassay (EIA) systems for determination of soluble and insoluble antigens. HRP is the most desired label for antibodies since it is the smallest and most stable of the three most popular enzyme labels (HRP, alkaline phosphatase, and B–galactosidase) and its glycosylation leads to lower non–specific binding. It is also useful for tracing neural connections. These include motor and sensory innervation of peripheral organs, and connections of peripheral nerves, ganglia and individual dorsal roots. HRP can be conjugated to antibodies by several different methods including glutaraldehyde, periodate oxidation, through disulfide bonds, and also via amino and thiol directed cross–linkers.

| Base Catalog Number | 195373 |
| Biochemical Physiological Actions | When incubated with a substrate, horseradish peroxidase produces a coloured, fluorimetric, or luminescent derivative of the labeled molecule, allowing quantification. HRP reacts with hydrogen peroxide to form a [HRP-H2O2] complex which can oxidize a wide variety of hydrogen donors. |
