Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody detects thioredoxin, mitochondrial (gene TXN2) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, IHC, ICC/IF, flow cytometry and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 18.4 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 13 kDa.
Thioredoxin-2 (TXN2) is the mitochondrial form of thioredoxin, a small protein that reduces disulfide bonds through its active-site cysteines. Supported by thioredoxin reductase 2, it helps control mitochondrial reactive oxygen species and plays a role in apoptosis regulation and cell survival.

Immunogen
Recombinant human Thioredoxin 2/TXN2 fragment (Thr60–Gly166), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places thioredoxin, mitochondrial in the mitochondrion. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Widely expressed in adult (at protein level) and fetal tissues. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
