Anti-TXNL2/GLRX3 Antibody Picoband® (iFluor647 Conjugate)

Glutaredoxin-3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GLRX3 gene. This gene encodes a member of the glutaredoxin family. Glutaredoxins are oxidoreductase enzymes that reduce a variety of substrates using glutathione as a cofactor. The encoded protein binds to and modulates the function of protein kinase C theta. The encoded protein may also inhibit apoptosis and play a role in cellular growth, and the expression of this gene may be a marker for cancer. Pseudogenes of this gene are located on the short arm of chromosomes 6 and 9. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed for this gene.

E. coli-derived human TXNL2 recombinant protein (Position: L89-S177). Human TXNL2 shares 93.3% and 94.4% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat TXNL2, respectively.

Expressed in heart, spleen, testis and, to a lower extent, in thymus and peripheral blood leukocytes. Weakly expressed in lung, placenta, colon and small intestine.

Critical negative regulator of cardiac hypertrophy and a positive inotropic regulator (By similarity). Crucial regulator of cellular iron homeostasis and hemoglobin maturation. May play a role in regulating the function of the thioredoxin system. Does not posses any thyoredoxin activity since it lacks the conserved motif that is essential for catalytic activity. .

Store at -20℃ for one year from date of receipt. After reconstitution, at 4℃ for one month. It can also be aliquotted and stored frozen at -20℃ for six months. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
