Anti-Peroxiredoxin 3/PRDX3 Antibody Picoband® (Cy3 Conjugate)

PRDX3 (peroxiredoxin 3) also known as AOP-1, MER5, SP-22 or PRX3, is localized exclusively in mitochondria. The deduced 256-amino acid human AOP1 protein shares 86% amino acid sequence similarity with mouse Aop1, and significant similarity with both the human proliferation-associated gene A product and the mouse stress-induced peritoneal macrophage protein Msp23. The PRDX3 gene is mapped on 10q26.11. Expression of PRDX3 is induced by MYC and is reduced in c-myc -/- cells. Chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis spanning the entire PRDX3 genomic sequence revealed that MYC binds preferentially to a 930-bp region surrounding exon 1. Results using mitochondria-specific fluorescent probes demonstrated that PRDX3 is essential for maintaining mitochondrial mass and membrane potential in transformed rat and human cells. These data provided evidence that PRDX3 is a MYC target gene that is required to maintain normal mitochondrial function.

E.coli-derived human Peroxiredoxin 3 recombinant protein (Position: T110-Q256). Human Peroxiredoxin 3 shares 93% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with both mouse and rat Peroxiredoxin 3.

Synthesized in numerous tissues (including tumors) and secreted into most extracellular body fluids, such as plasma, uterine fluid, saliva, gingival crevicular fluid, tears, seminal fluid, and milk.

Involved in redox regulation of the cell. Protects radical-sensitive enzymes from oxidative damage by a radical- generating system. Acts synergistically with MAP3K13 to regulate the activation of NF-kappa-B in the cytosol. .
