Mitochondrial respiration provides the energy needed to drive metabolic and transport
processes in cells. Mitochondria are a significant site of reactive oxygen species (ROS) …

Three different molecular masses (24, 22, and 20 kDa) of antioxidant proteins were purified
in Escherichia coli. These proteins exhibited the preventive effects against the inactivation of …

Significance: Parasite survival and virulence relies on effective defenses against reactive
oxygen and nitrogen species produced by the host immune system. Peroxiredoxins (Prxs) …

In the past decade, a new family of highly conserved antioxidant enzymes, Peroxiredoxins
(Prxs), have been discovered and defined. There are two major Prx subfamilies: one …

We have isolated the cDNAs encoding human and mouse homologues of a yeast protein,
termed peroxisomal membrane protein 20 (PMP20). Comparison of the amino acid …

Abstract Human peroxiredoxin II (Prx II) has been known to function as an antioxidant
enzyme in cells. Using head-and-neck cancer cell lines, we investigated whether Prx II …

A soluble 27-kDa protein from Saccharomyces cerevisiae specifically prevents the
inactivation of various enzymes caused by a nonenzymatic Fe3+/O2/thiol mixed-function …

Peroxiredoxin (PRx) exhibits thioredoxin‐dependent peroxidase activity and constitutes a
family of proteins. Four members of genes from rat tissues were isolated by PCR using …

Liver enlargement and hepatocyte proliferation, normal responses in wild-type (WT) mice
infected with the parasitic helminth Schistosoma mansoni, were found to be severely …

The thioredoxins (Trxs) constitute a family of enzymes which catalyze the reduction of
protein disulfide bonds. Recent animal studies have revealed the importance of the Trx …
