Protein
Peroxiredoxin TSA1-B
Organism
Candida albicans (strain SC5314 / ATCC MYA-2876)
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. Also involved in the correct composition of the hyphal cell wall.
Similarity
Belongs to the peroxiredoxin family. AhpC/Prx1 subfamily.
