Anti-PRDX2 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein peroxiredoxin 2. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 198 amino acid residues and a mass of 21.9 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cytoplasm. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is notably widely expressed in many tissue types. A member of the Peroxiredoxin protein family, PRDX2 is reported to be a thiol-specific peroxidase that catalyzes the reduction of hydrogen peroxide and organic hydroperoxides to water and alcohols, respectively. Synonyms for this target antigen include NKEF-B, NKEFB, PRP, PRX2, PRXII, PTX1, TDPX1, and HEL-S-2a. PRDX2 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish and chimpanzee species. Over 130 citations in the literature describe the use of PRDX2 antibodies in research. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA, Immunocytochemistry, Immunofluorescence, and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
