1 Insulin degradation by glutathione-insulin transhydrogenase has been studied using three different assay procedures: the measurement of the change in insulin immunoreactivity; the formation of 5% trichloroacetic acid-soluble radioactivity from 125 I-labeled insulin and the formation of GSSG via coupling to the oxidation of NADPH with the use of glutathione reductase. Trichloroacetic Acid insulin Homo sapiens

3 Kinetic experiments with the NADPH-coupled assay and the trichloroacetic acid assay yielded similar results: Line-weaver-Burke plots with insulin as variable and GSH as fixed substrate gave a set of straight, intersecting lines, and such plots with GSH as variable and insulin as fixed substrate were parabolic.
