Preparation and Storage

Background: Peroxiredoxin 6

Human Peroxiredoxin 6 (Prx-6) is a 26 kDa, cytosolic antioxidant enzyme that belongs to the 1-Cys class of the THP/ahpC family of proteins. This protein is 224 amino acids (aa) in length and has one catalytic cysteine at Cys46. Following an attack on peroxide, Cys46 is oxidized to cysteine sulfenic acid and exists in a stable conformation. Reduced, Prx-6 is a homotetramer. When activated, it apparently forms a covalently-associated homodimer. In addition to glutathione peroxidase activity, Prx-6 is also reported to demonstrate phospholipase A2 activity. Thus, Prx-6 likely plays a role in phospholipid turnover. Ser32 in a GWSWG motif is required for its enzymatic activity. Human Prx-6 is 92% and 90% aa identical to rat and mouse Prx-6, respectively.
