Peroxiredoxin 3 (PRDX3) (AA 63-256) (Active) protein
Description
PRDX3 is part of the peroxiredoxin family of antioxidant enzymes, that reduces hydrogen peroxide and alkyl hydroperoxides. PRDX3 is particularly located in the mitochondria and involved in the regulation of cellular redox status by serving as a primary line of defense against H2O2 produced during respiration. PRDX3 is a significant regulator of the abundance of mitochondrial H(2)O(2), which itself promotes apoptosis in cooperation with other mediators of apoptotic signaling. PRDX3 mitochondrial protein is significantly decreased in Alzheimer Disease and Down Syndrome Synonyms: AOP1, MER5, AOP-1, SP-22, PRO1748, MGC24293, MGC104387, PRDX3, Thioredoxin-dependent peroxide reductase mitochondrial, Peroxiredoxin-3, PRX III, Antioxidant protein 1, Protein MER5 homolog, HBC189
