Biological background
Protein function (datasheet): Reduces hydrogen peroxide and alkyl hydroperoxides with reducing equivalents provided through the thioredoxin system. Involved in intracellular redox signaling.
Scientific background (datasheet): PRDX5 (peroxiredoxin 5) also known as AOEB166, ACR1,B166, MGC117264, MGC142283, MGC142285, PLP, PMP20, PRDX6, PRXV, SBBI10, is a member of the peroxiredoxin family and may play an antioxidant protective role in various tissues under nonpathologic conditions and during inflammatory processes. The PRDX5 gene is mapped on 11q13.1. PRDX5 displays mitochondrial presequence features and has 3 cysteines implicated in antioxidant activity and a C-terminal SQL peroxisomal targeting sequence. Northern blot analysis revealed ubiquitous expression of a 1.0-kb PRDX5 transcript in tissues and cell lines. Functional analysis showed that PRDX5 has antioxidant activity equivalent to that of CAT. While PRDX5 was localized to fibroblasts in normal tendon, it was localized to fibroblasts and endothelial cells in degenerative tendon. PRDX5 mRNA and protein levels increased at 12 hours, and the increase in PRDX5 expression correlated with reduced peroxide levels. PRDX5 plays a protective role against oxidative stress in human cartilage.
Cellular localization (datasheet): Isoform Mitochondrial: Mitochondrion.
Tissue details (datasheet): Widely expressed. .
Sequence similarities (datasheet): Belongs to the peroxiredoxin 2 family.
Research relevance and current trends
- Commonly studied in contexts related to Apoptosis,Associated Proteins,Cell Biology,Cell Cycle,Cell Differentiation,Intracellular.
- 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.
