PRDX1 Polyclonal antibody

PRDX1(Peroxiredoxin-1), also named as PAGA, PAGB, TDPX2, PAG or NKEF-A, belongs to the ahpC/TSA family. PRDX1 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. PRDX1 might participate in the signaling cascades of growth factors and tumor necrosis factor-alpha by regulating the intracellular concentrations of H2O2 ((PMID: 9497357)). It reduces an intramolecular disulfide bond in GDPD5 that gates the ability to GDPD5 to drive postmitotic motor neuron differentiation. PRDX1 can form a dimer, and also can be phosphorylated on Thr-90 during the M-phase, which leads to a more than 80% decrease in enzymatic activity (PMID: 22583657, 11986303). The antibody is specific to PRDX1.
