It functions as a thiol-specific antioxidant, protecting cellular components from oxidative damage by catalyzing the reduction of peroxides in the cytosol and endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Prdx4 is involved in maintaining cellular redox balance and modulating oxidative stress responses, which are important for cell survival, protein folding, and immune function.\u003cp\u003eIn zebrafish, Prdx4 is an ortholog of the human PRDX4 gene, with both proteins sharing a high degree of sequence conservation in their peroxiredoxin domain, which is essential for their antioxidant activity. This functional conservation suggests that Prdx4 in zebrafish performs similar protective roles as its human counterpart in oxidative stress response and cellular homeostasis. The zebrafish model, therefore, offers an excellent system to study the roles of peroxiredoxins in cell survival, protein quality control, and diseases related to oxidative damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrdx4 in zebrafish also has isoforms, which may be generated through alternative splicing. These isoforms can exhibit tissue-specific expression patterns and may have distinct functions depending on the cellular environment or developmental stage. The existence of isoforms allows for more precise regulation of redox balance in response to physiological stress and disease conditions, including conditions involving chronic inflammation or neurodegenerative disorders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZebrafish Prdx4 is expressed in various tissues, including the liver, brain, muscles, and heart, where it plays an essential role in protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining cellular integrity. Its expression is especially important in the endoplasmic reticulum, where it participates in the oxidative folding of proteins. Prdx4 also contributes to the regulation of immune responses by modulating inflammatory signaling pathways, making it essential for maintaining immune homeostasis and protecting tissues from inflammatory damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGiven its role in antioxidant defense, cell survival, and immune regulation, zebrafish Prdx4 is an important protein for studying oxidative stress, neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular health, and immune system function. Disruptions in Prdx4 function in zebrafish can lead to increased cellular oxidative damage, impaired protein folding, and inflammatory responses, making it a valuable model for investigating diseases related to oxidative stress and cellular dysfunction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnecting protein-level changes to phenotype using orthogonal readouts (genetic perturbation, transcriptomics, imaging).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsidering isoforms and post-translational regulation when interpreting protein-level changes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComparing results across species and model systems with matched controls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWestern blotting:\u003c\/strong\u003e compare relative abundance and activation-state changes across conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImmunohistochemistry:\u003c\/strong\u003e map target signal in tissue context and compare regions\/phenotypes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterpret changes in signal alongside appropriate controls and, when relevant, in parallel with total-protein or pathway readouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal can reflect expression level, isoform composition, and post-translational state; interpret results in the context of your model system and stimuli.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecies differences and sample matrices can influence epitope recognition; prioritize matched controls and orthogonal confirmation when feasible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAntibody notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polyclonal antibodies recognize multiple epitopes, which can broaden the epitope footprint and may increase sensitivity in some contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- Sources (internal): - UniProt search — UniProt — https:\/\/www.uniprot.org\/uniprotkb?query=PRDX4 - NCBI Gene search — NCBI — https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/?term=PRDX4 - Ensembl search — Ensembl — https:\/\/www.ensembl.org\/Multi\/Search\/Results?q=PRDX4 - Human Protein Atlas search — HPA — https:\/\/www.proteinatlas.org\/search\/PRDX4 - PubMed (review) — NLM — https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/?term=PRDX4+review --\u003e","brand":"NSJ Bioreagents","offers":[{"title":"0.5mg\/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water \/ 100 ug","offer_id":53047330013549,"sku":"RZ1279","price":539.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/get_image_8973a1bb-bf30-470a-b263-e27522f8336c.jpg?v=1772019472","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/zebrafish-prdx4-antibody-peroxiredoxin-4-bha17136474","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
