Anti-aiPLA2 antibody produced in rabbit

Biological Activity

PRDX6 (Peroxiredoxin 6) possesses two types of activities, peroxidase and phospholipase A2 activities. It acts as a bifunctional enzyme in the β cell controlling during oxidative stress. PRDX6 converts hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and alkyl hydroperoxides to water and alcohol through redox reactions. It also functions as an antioxidant enzyme in the antioxidant defense mechanism and lung phospholipid metabolism. It has been reported th at overexpressed PRDX6 reduces the chances of oxidative damage, whereas knockdown expression leads to the oxidative stress and apoptosis. Deficiency in PRDX6 causes impaired homeostasis and cell death/apoptosis.
