| Biological Activity | The specific activity was found to be approximately 82-83 pmole/min/ug.The enzymatic activity was confirmed by measuring the remaining peroxide after incubation of PRDX3 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. |
| Description | PRDX3 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 195 amino acids (63-256 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 21.5 kDa.The PRDX3 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Expression host | Escherichia Coli. |
| Formulation | The PRDX3 solution contains 20mM Tris-HCl pH-8, & 10% glycerol. |
| Protein Background | PRDX3 is part of the peroxiredoxin family of antioxidant enzymes, that reduces hydrogen peroxide and alkyl hydroperoxides. PRDX3 is particularly located in the mitochondria and involved in the regulation of cellular redox status by serving as a primary line of defense against H2O2 produced during respiration. PRDX3 is a significant regulator of the abundance of mitochondrial H(2)O(2), which itself promotes apoptosis in cooperation with other mediators of apoptotic signaling. PRDX3 mitochondrial protein is significantly decreased in Alzheimer Disease and Down Syndrome. |
| Purity | Greater than 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
| Reagent Appearance | Sterile Filtered colorless solution. |
| Stability | PRDX3 although stable 4°C for 4 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
