General description

Peroxiredoxin 2 is a cytosolic member of the peroxiredoxin family of antioxidant enzymes. All peroxiredoxin enzymes exist as homodimers, they contain a conserved Cys residue corresponding to Cys51 in mammalian peroxiredoxin 1 and 2 and are distributed differentially within cells.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acid residues 184-198 of human peroxiredoxin 2 conjugated to KLH. The corresponding sequence is identical in rat and mouse peroxiredoxin 2.

Application

Anti-Peroxiredoxin 2 (C-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunoblottingand immunoprecipitation.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Peroxiredoxin 2 has dual roles as a peroxireductase in moderately oxidative conditions and as a molecular chaperone that binds and protects denatured proteins in hyper-oxidative conditions. Peroxiredoxin 2 is involved in platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) signaling regulation and is elevated in several human cancers and neurodegenerative disorders.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phophate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.

Peroxiredoxin 2 (Prx2) is a thiol protein that functions as an antioxidant, regulator of cellular peroxide concentrations, and sensor of redox signals. Its redox cycle is widely accepted to involve oxidation by a peroxide and reduction by thioredoxin/thioredoxin reductase. Interactions
