PRDX1 is a member of the peroxiredoxin family of antioxidant enzymes, which reduce hydrogen peroxide and alkyl hydroperoxides. This protein is also known to be important to protect red blood cells against reactive oxygen species and in tumor prevention. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa1-199 from human PRDX1, fused to His-tag at N-terminal expressed in E. coli. Molecular Weight: ~24kD (219aa) Specific Activity: >2000 pmol/min/ug, enzymatic activity is defined as the amount of hydroperoxide that 1ug of enzyme can reduce at 25C/minute.
