General description

PRDX6 (Peroxiredoxin 6) is a thiol-specific antioxidant protein belonging to the thiol-specific antioxidant peroxiredoxin family. It contains one redox-active cysteine molecule, thus, also named as 1-Cys peroxiredoxin. In mammals, six types of peroxiredoxins have been identified. It is highly expressed in the lungs along with other tissues.

Immunogen

Peroxiredoxin-6 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Biochem/physiol Actions

PRDX6 (Peroxiredoxin 6) possesses two types of activities, peroxidase and phospholipase A2 activities. It acts as a bifunctional enzyme in the β cell controlling during oxidative stress. PRDX6 converts hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and alkyl hydroperoxides to water and alcohol through redox reactions. It also functions as an antioxidant enzyme in the antioxidant defense mechanism and lung phospholipid metabolism. It has been reported that overexpressed PRDX6 reduces the chances of oxidative damage, whereas knockdown expression leads to the oxidative stress and apoptosis. Deficiency in PRDX6 causes impaired homeostasis and cell death/apoptosis.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

This report provides definitive evidence that the protein 1-Cys peroxiredoxin is a bifunctional ("moonlighting") enzyme with two distinct active sites. We have previously shown that human, rat, and bovine lungs contain an acidic Ca(2+)-independent phospholipase A(2) (aiPLA(2)). The cDNA encoding
