Biological background
Protein function (datasheet): Probably involved in redox regulation of the cell. Regulates the activation of NF-kappa-B in the cytosol by a modulation of I-kappa-B-alpha phosphorylation. .
Scientific background (datasheet): PRDX4 (peroxiredoxin 4) also known as AOE37-2. The protein encoded by this gene 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 PRDX4 modulates IKBA phosphorylation in the cytoplasm and thus affects a peroxiredoxin-dependent redox step.
Cellular localization (datasheet): Cytoplasm . Secreted .
Tissue details (datasheet): Housekeeping-type gene preferentially expressed in murine erythroleukemia (MEL) cells.
Sequence similarities (datasheet): Belongs to the AhpC/TSA family.
Research relevance and current trends
- Commonly studied in contexts related to Cell Biology.
- Supports comparative expression analysis across conditions, genotypes, or treatments when paired with appropriate controls.
- Useful for confirming target presence and subcellular distribution using orthogonal readouts (e.g., microscopy vs. immunoblotting).
Common research applications
- Western blot (WB): Compare relative target abundance and apparent size/isoforms across samples; interpret bands in light of expected MW and potential PTMs.
- ELISA: Measure target abundance in compatible matrices using a standard-curve readout; ensure dilution linearity and appropriate controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Assess tissue distribution and cell-type patterns; interpret staining with appropriate negative controls and antigen context.
- Flow cytometry: Quantify target-positive populations in single-cell suspensions; pair with viability and isotype/FMO controls conceptually.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Consider isoforms, post-translational modifications, and processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or localization.
- Cross-reactivity (datasheet): No cross-reactivity with other proteins
- Use appropriate positive and negative controls (e.g., KO/KD, blocking peptide, or isotype controls) to support specificity interpretation.
As a polyclonal antibody, this reagent may recognize multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may require careful specificity controls.
