A polyclonal antibody specific for human PRDX5 has been pre-coated onto a 96- well microplate with removable strips. PRDX5 in standards and samples is sandwiched by the immobilized antibody and a biotinylated polyclonal antibody specific for human PRDX5, which is recognized by a streptavidinperoxidase (SP) conjugate. All unbound material is washed away and a peroxidase enzyme substrate is added. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProperties and Storage Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nShipped at conditions-Blue Ice, Appropriate short-term storage conditions--20°C, Appropriate long-term storage conditions-Multi, Storage information-Please refer to protocols\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplementary Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.\u003cbr\u003e\nPeroxiredoxin 5 (Prdx5) acts as a peroxidase reducing hydrogen peroxide and organic hydroperoxides and protecting cells from oxidative damage. This protein also known as AOEB166 and PRDX6 has a molecular mass of approximately 17 kDa. Prdx5 is widely expressed across various tissues including lung liver heart kidney and brain where it performs protective and regulatory roles. It localizes within multiple cell compartments such as mitochondria peroxisomes and the cytosol.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nPrdx5 plays a role in reducing oxidative stress which helps to maintain cellular homeostasis. It is part of the large family of peroxiredoxins known for their antioxidant activity. Prdx5 interacts with other antioxidants within the cell to mitigate damage from reactive oxygen species (ROS). Its multifunctionality allows it to act both as an antioxidant and a molecular chaperone under certain stress conditions helping cells adapt to challenging environments.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nPrdx5 functions within the antioxidant defense system and participates in the regulatory networks that control oxidative stress responses. It is an element of the thioredoxin system working alongside thioredoxin and thioredoxin reductase to neutralize ROS. Additionally it contributes to the signaling pathways of apoptosis by controlling ROS levels which can impact cell viability and proliferation.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe malfunction or dysregulation of Prdx5 associates with cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Elevated ROS levels can contribute to tumor progression and have been observed in cancerous tissues where Prdx5 may have altered expression. In neurodegeneration such as Alzheimer's disease Prdx5's role in oxidative stress management potentially affects disease progression. Connections exist between Prdx5 and proteins like amyloid-beta in Alzheimer's illustrating its importance in both protective and pathological contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46855670857897,"sku":"ab283988","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab283988","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
