The red blood cells (RBCs) are essential to transport oxygen (O2) and nutrients throughout
the human body. Changes in the structure or functioning of the erythrocytes can lead to …

We aimed to study the role of Peroxiredoxin 2 (Prx2) in the erythrocyte antioxidant defense.
We performed in vitro assays (n= 3) using healthy erythrocytes, with and without inhibiting …

Abstract Peroxiredoxin 2 (Prx2), a thiol-dependent peroxidase, is the third most abundant
protein in the erythrocyte, and its absence in knock-out mice gives rise to hemolytic anemia …

Peroxiredoxin 2 (Prx2) is an antioxidant enzyme that uses cysteine residues to decompose
peroxides. Prx2 is the third most abundant protein in erythrocytes, and competes effectively …

In human erythrocytes H 2 O 2 is mainly consumed by glutathione peroxidase, catalase and
peroxiredoxin 2 (Prx2). Our previous analyses indicate that Prx2's peroxidase activity is …

Peroxiredoxins (Prxs) are a family of antioxidant proteins that reduce peroxide levels by
using reducing agents such as thioredoxin. These proteins were characterized to have a …

Aims: Transfusion with stored red blood cells (RBCs) is associated with increased morbidity
and mortality. Peroxiredoxin-2 (Prx-2) is a primary RBC antioxidant that limits hydrogen …

Abstract Peroxiredoxin 2 (Prx2) is the third most abundant protein in red blood cells (RBCs).
In this study, we have succeeded in implementing the rapid and simultaneous detection of …

Peroxiredoxin 2 (Prx2) is a 2-Cys peroxiredoxin extremely abundant in the erythrocyte. The
peroxidase activity was studied in a steady-state approach yielding an apparent KM of 2.4 …

Abstract Peroxiredoxin 2 (Prx2) is a redox enzyme that is abundantly expressed in red blood
cells (RBCs) and has been the focus of clinical attention for monitoring the oxidative status …
