General description

Peroxiredoxin 6 (1-Cys peroxiredoxin), is a member of the thiol-specific antioxidant peroxiredoxin family. Six mammalian peroxiredoxins have been identified. Peroxiredoxin 6 is the only one that contains a single redox-active cysteine and uses glutathione to catalyze the reduction of H2O2 and other organic peroxides. It is expressed in all tissues with the highest levels in the lung.

Application

The antibody has been used in several immunochemical techniques including immunoblotting and immunoprecipitation.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Peroxiredoxins are peroxidases, with the use of reducing equivalents provided by thiol-containing proteins that reduce hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to water and alkyl hydroperoxides to alcohol. Peroxiredoxin 6 is a bifunctional enzyme with peroxidase and phospholipase A2 activities. Overexpression of peroxiredoxin 6 in cells protects them against oxidative damage, whereas knockdown of this enzyme results in oxidative stress and apoptosis. The phospholipase A2 activity plays an important role in surfactant homeostasis. Peroxiredoxin 6 is a major antioxidant enzyme which functions in antioxidant defense and lung phospholipid metabolism.

Physical form

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