Purified recombinant Human Peroxiredoxin 2 protein Expression System: E.coli Bioactivity: Specific activity: approximately 200-230 pM/min/µg. Enzymatic activity was confirmed by measuring the remaining peroxide after incubation of PRDX2 and peroxide for 20 min at room temperature. Specific activity is defined as the amount of hydroperoxide that 1ug of enzyme can reduce at 25 °C for 1 minute. Molecular weight on SDS-PAGE will appear higher.
Peroxiredoxin 2, also known as PRDX2, is a member of the peroxiredoxin family of antioxidant enzymes, which reduce hydrogen peroxide and alkyl hydroperoxides. Peroxiredoxin 2 may play an antioxidant protective role in cells, and may contribute to the antiviral activity of CD8(+) T-cells. If Peroxiredoxin 2 protection is inadequate against peroxidases, the resulting protein and DNA damage may result in neurological disease such as Alzheimer's or DNA damage leading to cancer. Recombinant human Peroxiredoxin 2 protein was expressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional chromatography.
