Anti-PRDX5 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein peroxiredoxin 5. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 214 amino acid residues and a mass of 22.1 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the mitochondria and cytoplasm. It is widely expressed across many tissue types. A member of the Peroxiredoxin protein family, Prdx5 is reported to be a thiol-specific peroxidase that catalyzes the reduction of hydrogen peroxide and organic hydroperoxides to water and alcohols, respectively. Post-translational modifications have been described, including palmitoylation. Synonyms for this target antigen include AOEB166, B166, HEL-S-55, PLP, PMP20, PRDX6, PRXV, and ACR1. PRDX5 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish and chimpanzee species. A number of Prdx5 antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA, Immunocytochemistry, Immunofluorescence, and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
