    Specificity / Sensitivity

    PRDX2 Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total PRDX2 protein.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human, Mouse, Rat

    Source / Purification

    Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the amino terminus of human PRDX2 protein. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

    Background

    Peroxiredoxin 2 (PRDX2, PRXII, NKEFB) is a ubiquitously expressed thioredoxin peroxidase. The enzyme catalyzes the reduction of hydrogen peroxide and organic hydroperoxides via the thioredoxin system (1). An antioxidant, PRDX2 neutralizes endogenous reactive oxygen species (ROS) and regulates cytokine-induced peroxide levels for normal cell function (2). Research studies have shown that PRDX2 plays important roles in inflammation, cancer, and natural killer (NK) cell activation (3). During cancer progression, PRDX2 is upregulated and protects cancer cells from oxidative stress-induced apoptosis (4, 5). In inflammatory diseases such as infection, myocardial infarction, and ischemia, PRDX2 not only protects (host) cells from oxidative stress-induced death, but is also released into extracellular space to trigger local inflammation and to activate NK cells for innate immune response (6, 7).
