Gene information for PRDX4 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID10549
Official gene symbolPRDX4
Full nameperoxiredoxin 4
Aliases,AOE37-2,PRX-4,
Gene summary The protein encoded by this gene is an antioxidant enzyme and belongs to the peroxiredoxin family. The protein is localized to the cytoplasm. Peroxidases of the peroxiredoxin family reduce hydrogen peroxide and alkyl hydroperoxides to water and alcohol with the use of reducing equivalents derived from thiol-containing donor molecules. This protein has been found to play a regulatory role in the activation of the transcription factor NF-kappaB. [provided by RefSeq]
