Abstract

Peroxiredoxins are a family of antioxidant proteins ubiquitously found in all living organisms. A type of peroxidase enzyme, named thioredoxin peroxidase (TPx), that reduces $H_2O$$_2$ with the use of electrons from thioredoxin and contains two essential cysteines was identified in a wide variety of organisms ranging from prokaryotes to mammals. TPx homologs, termed peroxiredoxin (Prx), have also been identified and include several proteins, designated 1-Cys Prx, that contain only one conserved cysteine. (omitted)
