Protein
Peroxiredoxin PRX1, mitochondrial
Organism
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c)
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 and as sensor of hydrogen peroxide-mediated signaling events. Involved in mitochondrial protection of cadmium-induced oxidative stress.
Similarity
Belongs to the peroxiredoxin family. Prx6 subfamily.
