Product Name :
TXNRD2 monoclonal antibody Background :
Thioredoxin reductases are selenoproteins that are critical for maintaining cellular redox balance and eliminating reactive oxygen species (ROS). There are three known mammalian thioredoxin reductases: TRXR1/TXNRD1 (cytosolic), TRXR2/TXNRD2 (mitochondrial), and TRXR3/TXNRD3 (testis-specific). TRXR2 may function to protect against tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)-mediated ROS generation. TRXR2 is critical for normal heart development and function. TRXR2 KO mice experience embryonic lethality, while mitochondrial dysfunction seen in heart-specific TRXR2 KO mice results in congestive heart failure. In humans, certain rare mutations in TRXR2 have been linked to dilated cardiomyopathy. A recent study in the EPIC-Heidelberg cohort shows that serum selenium levels, in concert with certain SNPs in TRXR2 and other selenoproteins, can influence prostate cancer risk. Product :

Bioworld Biotech only provide peptides for our antibodies and do not provide additional peptide customization services.
Price/Size :
USD 368/1mg/vial
Tips:
For phospho antibody, we provide phospho peptide(0.5mg) and non-phospho peptide(0.5mg).Describe :
Blocking peptides are peptides that bind specifically to the target antibody and block antibody binding. These peptide usually contains the epitope recognized by the antibody. Antibodies bound to the blocking peptide no longer bind to the epitope on the target protein. This mechanism is useful when non-specific binding is an issue, for example, in Western blotting (WB) and Immunohistochemistry (IHC). By comparing the staining from the blocked antibody versus the antibody alone, one can see which staining is specific; Specific binding will be absent from the western blot or IHC performed with the neutralized antibody.Formula:
Synthetic peptide was lyophilized with 100% acetonitrile and is supplied as a powder. Reconstitute with 0.1 ml DI water for a final concentration of 10 mg/ml.The purity is >90%,tested by HPLC and MS.
Storage:
The freeze-dried powder is more stable. For short time at 2-8°C. For long term storage store at -20°C.
