Oxidative stress is a cellular disorder caused by an excess of free radicals resulting from increased oxidant levels, decreased anti-oxidant amounts, or failure to repair damage induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Oxidative stress and oxidation have been linked to atherosclerosis, ischemia, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, and neurodegeneration. ROS molecules can chemically modify proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, potentially altering or impairing their normal functions. Protein oxidation is frequently associated with excess oxidative stress in the cells. Oxidative modification of proteins, by oxygen free radicals and other reactive species such as hydroxynonenal, occurs in physiologic and pathologic processes. As a consequence of the modification, carbonyl groups are introduced into protein side chains by a site-specific mechanism.
MilliporeSigma’s offers a broad range of products for studying oxidative stress, including detection kits, multiplex assays, flow cytometry characterization, antibodies, and inhibitors. Our oxidative stress detection kits enable simple and sensitive immunodetection of carbonyl-modified proteins, and allow reliable and reproducible quantitation.
