ANTI-PEROXIREDOXIN 3 (PRDX3)

Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ PRDX3, also known as antioxidant protein 1 (AOP1), MER-5, or SP-22, belongs to a family of proteins termed peroxiredoxins (Prx). It is a mitochondrial protein._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 241-256 of human peroxiredoxin 3, conjugated to KLH via an N-terminal lysine residue._x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide._x000D_ Disclaimer_x000D_ Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals._x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ Peroxiredoxin 3 (PRDX3) catalyzes the reduction of peroxides in the presence of thioredoxin. The Prx family has been identified in association with a variety of diverse cellular functions including growth control, proliferation, differentiation, and in the response to oxidative stress. PRDX3 is required to maintain normal mitochondrial function through direct activation by c-Myc, which may explain its overexpression during neoplastic transformation.
