Description:
Peroxiredoxin 1, also called PRX1, PAGA or NKEFA, is a thiol reductase that plays critical roles in oxidative and thermal stress defense mechanisms through its abilities to metabolize H2O2 and act as a molecular chaperone, respectively. This gene encodes a member of a family of antioxidant enzymes, which reduce hydrogen peroxide and alkyl hydroperoxides. The PRDX1 gene is mapped on 1p34.1. PRDX1 was expressed in differentiating motor neuron cells in developing embryonic chicken and mouse spinal cords. Immunoprecipitation analysis showed that GDE2 interacted directly with PRDX1 in embryonic chicken spinal cord extracts and in transfected HEK293T cells. This protein may have a proliferative effect and play a role in cancer development or progression. In differentiating spinal cord, Prdx1 was required to activate Gde2 by reducing an intramolecular cystine bridge between the Gde2 N- and C-terminal domains. An intramolecular disulfide bond between the GDE2 N- and C-terminal domains inhibits GDE2 function, and that reduction of this cystine by PRDX1 activates GDE2 for the induction of motor neuron differentiation.
Storage:
After reconstitution, the Peroxiredoxin 1 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20 deg. Celcius or lower. Cycles of freezing and thawing can denaturate the peptide chains of the antibodies and reduce their sensitivity and/or change their affinity. Prepare aliqotes in such a manner so that freeze-thaw cycles are minimized. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
Species reactivity:
Human (Homo sapiens), Mouse (Mus musculus), Rat ; Due to limited knowledge and inability to test the antibody against all known species, we cannot guarantee that no other cross reactivity can occur.
Notes:
The stated application concentrations are suggested starting amounts. Titration of the Peroxiredoxin 1 antibody may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.
Immunogen:
An amino acid sequence from the C-terminus of human PRDX1 (KPDVQKSKEYFSKQK) was used as the immunogen for this Peroxiredoxin 1 antibody.
