Description:
Peroxiredoxin 4 is an antioxidant enzyme and belongs to the peroxiredoxin family. Functional analysis showed that PRDX4 protects glutamine synthetase from inactivation. Yeast 2-hybrid, immunoprecipitation, and immunoblot analyses indicated that PRDX4 and PRDX1 are capable of homodimerization and heterodimerization with each other but not with the mitochondrial PRDX3. Gel mobility shift and immunoblot analysis found that PRDX4 depletes NFKB binding activity together with a reduction in the amounts of p50, p65, and phosphorylated IKBA, as well as a reduction in the expression of HIV-1 viral proteins. Expression of PRDX4, alone or with PRDX1, increased the resistance of yeast cells to oxidant-induced toxicity. Jin et al.(1997) suggested Peroxiredoxin 4 modulates IKBA phosphorylation in the cytoplasm and thus affects a peroxiredoxin-dependent redox step.
Storage:
After reconstitution, the Peroxiredoxin 4 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 4 antibody may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.
Immunogen:
An amino acid sequence from the C-terminus of human PRDX4 (SETIIPDPAGKLKYFDKLN) was used as the immunogen for this Peroxiredoxin 4 antibody (100% homologous in human, mouse and rat).
