초록
The thioredoxin peroxidase (TPx) is an antioxidant member of the peroxiredoxin family of enzymes. The TPx enzyme system has been implicated in the elimination of hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radicals generated during cellular processes. Such reactive molecules have been shown to cause damage to all major classes of biological macromolecules, including lipid, protein and DNA. Compared to mammalian peroxiredoxin genes, little is known about the insect TPx. (omitted)
