Type: | Domain | Name: | Redoxin |
Description: | This redoxin domain is found in peroxiredoxin, thioredoxin and glutaredoxin proteins. Peroxiredoxins (Prxs) constitute a family of thiol peroxidases that reduce hydrogen peroxide, peroxinitrite, and hydroperoxides using a strictly conserved cysteine []. Chloroplast thioredoxin systems in plants regulate the enzymes involved in photosynthetic carbon assimilation []. It is thought that redoxins have a large role to play in anti-oxidant defence. Cadmium-sensitive proteins are also regulated via thioredoxin and glutaredoxin thiol redox systems []. | Short Name: | Redoxin |
