Protein
Peroxiredoxin-2F, mitochondrial
Organism
Oryza sativa subsp. japonica
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. Reduces preferentially hydrogen peroxide rather than alkyl peroxides. May be involved in mitochondrial redox homeostasis.
Similarity
Belongs to the peroxiredoxin family. Prx5 subfamily.
