PAT22E7AT. |
| Applications |
PRDX6 antibody has been tested by ELISA, Western blot analysis, ICC/IF and Flow cytometry to assure specificity and reactivity. Since application varies, however, each investigation should be titrated by the reagent to obtain optimal results. |
| Protein Background |
Peroxiredoxin 6 (PRDX6) belongs to the thiol-specific antioxidant protein family. PRDX6 is a bifunctional enzyme with 2 distinct active sites. PRDX6 is involved in redox regulation of the cell and can reduce Hydrogen peroxide and short chain organic, fatty acid, and phospholipid hydroperoxides. PRDX6 may have a role in the regulation of phospholipid turnover as well as in protection against oxidative injury. Furthermore, PRDX6 eases the oxidative stress and TGF-beta-induced abnormalities of human trabecular meshwork cells. In addition, PRDX6 is necessary for blood vessel integrity in injured skin. At acidic pH, PRDX6 binds to reduced phospholipids, however at cytosolic pH PRDX6 binds only to phospholipids that are oxidized which is compatible with the role for PRDX6 in the repair of peroxidized cell membranes. Hydrogen peroxide-mediated hyperoxidation of PRDX6 induces cell cycle arrest at the G2/M transition via up-regulation of iPLA2 activity. Overexpression of PRDX6 is linked to oligodendroglioma. |
