Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody detects glutaredoxin-2, mitochondrial (gene GLRX2) in human and mouse samples and is validated for Western blot, IHC, ICC/IF, flow cytometry and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 18.1 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 18 kDa.
Glutaredoxin-2 (GLRX2) is a glutathione-dependent oxidoreductase found mainly in mitochondria. It adds or removes glutathione on protein thiols, including subunits of complex I, and can accept electrons from thioredoxin reductase, helping to maintain mitochondrial redox balance and protect cells from oxidative stress-induced apoptosis.
