Protein
Thioredoxin-dependent peroxide reductase, mitochondrial
Function
Thiol-specific peroxidase that catalyzes the reduction of hydrogen peroxide and organic hydroperoxides to water and alcohols, respectively. Plays a role in cell protection against oxidative stress by detoxifying peroxides (PubMed:7733872, PubMed:17707404). Acts synergistically with MAP3K13 to regulate the activation of NF-kappa-B in the cytosol (PubMed:12492477).
Similarity
Belongs to the peroxiredoxin family. AhpC/Prx1 subfamily.
