Other Information

**Key characteristics** PRDX2 is a small, cytosolic enzyme that belongs to the peroxiredoxin family. It is a thioredoxin peroxidase, which means it uses thioredoxin as a reducing agent to reduce hydrogen peroxide and other ROS. PRDX2 has a high affinity for hydrogen peroxide, allowing it to effectively neutralize this toxic molecule. The enzyme is also capable of reducing other ROS, such as superoxide radicals, and has been shown to play a role in regulating the activity of various signaling pathways. **Pathways and functions** PRDX2 has been implicated in several cellular pathways, including: 1. **Antioxidant activity**: PRDX2 catalyzes the reduction of hydrogen peroxide and other ROS, thereby protecting cells from oxidative damage. 2. **Cell redox homeostasis**: PRDX2 helps maintain cellular redox balance by regulating the levels of ROS and reactive nitrogen species (RNS). 3. **Apoptosis**: PRDX2 has been shown to regulate apoptosis by reducing ROS and modulating the activity of pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic proteins. 4. **Cell proliferation and differentiation**: PRDX2 has been implicated in regulating cell proliferation and differentiation in various cell types, including neurons and smooth muscle cells. 5. **Response to oxidative stress**: PRDX2 plays a crucial role in responding to oxidative stress by regulating the activity of various signaling pathways and enzymes involved in ROS detoxification. 6. **Regulation of signaling pathways**: PRDX2 has been shown to regulate the activity of various signaling pathways, including the MAPK cascade, NF-κB, and JAK/STAT pathways. **Clinical significance** PRDX2 has been implicated in several diseases, including: 1. **Alzheimer's disease**: PRDX2 has been shown to play a role in regulating the activity of various signaling pathways involved in neurodegeneration. 2. **Neurodegenerative diseases**: PRDX2 has been implicated in the pathogenesis of various neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). 3. **Cancer**: PRDX2 has been shown to regulate cell proliferation and differentiation in various cancer cell types, including breast, lung, and colon cancer. 4. **Cardiovascular disease**: PRDX2 has been implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease, including atherosclerosis and heart failure. 5. **Neurodevelopmental disorders**: PRDX2 has been shown to play a role in regulating the activity of various signaling pathways involved in neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism spectrum disorder and schizophrenia. In conclusion, PRDX2 is a critical enzyme involved in maintaining cellular redox homeostasis and regulating various cellular processes, including apoptosis, cell proliferation, differentiation, and responses to oxidative stress. Its dysregulation has been implicated in several diseases, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target for the treatment of various diseases.
